California is the top wine-producing state by far --- and when most people think of California wines, Sonoma and Napa immediately come to mind. But in reality, only about 10 percent of the state's wine comes from these two celebrated regions. This evening’s tasting, hosted by ICE’s resident sommelier, Richard Vayda, pits the two regions' best varietal wines head-to-head in a no-holds-barred face-off! Come help judge the best (or at least your favorites) from these two renowned areas. Of course, some delicious California cheeses will accompany the evening's eight wines!
