(Wines&Vines) - Producers and fans of handcrafted Central Coast wines will gather Nov. 8-11 for the second annual Garagiste Festival. Winemakers from 48 tiny wineries (producing up to 1,200 cases per year) will pour at several events; seminars Nov. 10 and 11 will address issues including microclimates and terroir of Syrah, emerging varietals and a symposium for winemakers called Your First Vintage. The two-day inaugural event in 2011 drew 500-700 paying guests, according to Stewart McLennan, who co-founded the festival with Douglas Minnick. Although he’s been producing wine with cohorts in “Brothers of the Barrel” since 1991 and worked at Four Vines Winery, McLennan will not be pouring at the festival, where all wineries are required to be licensed.
