Landmark on “A Long Pour {Fifty-Two Weeks with California Wine}

A couple weeks ago, we had the opportunity to meet Wayne Kelterer and give him a tour of Landmark.  Wayne began a journey in January with one goal in mind.  His goal is to visit 52 different California wineries before the end of the year.  Each visit is documented on his blog, “A Long Pour {Fifty-Two Weeks with California Wine.”    Wayne is great guy and a big supporter of small family run wineries.  His blog was recently nominated for “Best New Wine Blog.”  Good luck Wayne, hope you win.
