“AND THEN THERE’S MY

OCTOPUS GLASS”

As a winemaker, I deal with a lot of expert sommeliers and wine industry people. I attend dinners that can be extremely formal, where there’s a specific glass for each varietal, and food is matched with the right wine. And then there’s my octopus glass, which I picked up on a family trip to the Long Beach Aquarium. It reminds me that wine should be fun.
