Please join us in welcoming Paso Robles winemaker, Edgar Torres of Bodega de Edgar and Song Wines.
‘I started as a Cellar Rat’……I can’t tell you how much I love his humble description of how his love of wine began. Edgar’s wine journey started in Paso Robles as a waiter and after some of his favorite wine producers became friends and opened their doors to Edgar to quench his desire to learn everything there is to know about wine, he and his wife launched Bodega de Edgar in 2007. Bodega, which is the Spanish term for winery or cellar, was a natural fit considering his Hispanic heritage and passion for Spanish wines.
Edgar will be pouring a variety of wines including Tempranillo, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and amazing blends. This is a tasting you don’t want to miss!
Tasting Fee: $40.00, Winetourage Members: Complimentary
RSVP to info@vinbarcarmel.com or call 831-293-8715 to secure your spot.
Come meet the founders of Elephant Havens, Debra Stevens, Scott Jackson and Bee Poloko! Learn about all the baby elephants they have rescued and the many other community outreach programs they have initiated. Also enjoy wines from Morgan and treats from Sama Delights.

NorCal Boxer Rescue provides a temporary sanctuary for boxers in need throughout Northern California, the Central Valley (Fresno or farther north) and around the Nevada/California state line area. We rescue boxers from shelters and from owners who are no longer able to care for them. At a minimum, we provide these animals with veterinary care, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, a microchip, a temporary foster home at a private residence, lots of love, and placement into a carefully screened forever home.
NCBR is run entirely by a dedicated group of volunteers who have an unmatched love for preserving this wonderful breed. We have no paid employees and allocate nearly 100% of our adoption fees and donations directly toward the care of our boxers. For more information, please visit www.ncbr.org.

MUSIC SUNDAYS WITH PETER KONIKOWSKI at VIN WINE BAR + BOTTLE BOUTIQUE
DECEMBER 29th, 3:30 – 6:00 PM
Join us in welcoming acoustic artist Peter Konikowski to VIN Music Sundays.
Be entertained with Peter’s wide range of acoustic styles all soulfully awakening and engaging! Hailing from North Jersey, Peter started out as a youth playing in church, and sneaking into clubs to perform in NYC. Playing live gave Peter a glimpse at the power of music as a conduit to collectively connect to the human experience. Inspired by this feeling, he has been writing and performing ever since. At age 22, he headed out west and after 10 years calls California home.
