Come learn about and taste handcrafted wines from Tessier Winery with winemaker and founder Kristie Tacey on Thursday, September 24 from 5pm to 6pm at The Annex, 10387 San Pablo Avenue, El Cerrito.
Kristie Tacey is a scientist turned winemaker. A former published research scientist who studied protein pathways, she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from her native Michigan to pursue a career in biotechnology, which included working on the Human Genome Project. Kristie eventually came to realize that winemaking was her true calling; and after working as operations manager and assistant winemaker at an award-winning East Bay winery.
Tessier Winery was founded in 2009 and focuses on small, hand-crafted lots of natural wines. In the cellar, they practice native fermentations and minimal intervention to allow each vineyard to speak for itself. They have selectively chosen organically farmed family-owned and operated vineyards that are in local regions that they feel best express the varietals they love and are inspired by.
There is a $5 tasting fee and you must be 21+ to participate.
