Contributing Editor
CurrentBesides writing about local wine bars, restaurants and events, I have provided coverage and marketing of events out of the area, such as: The Garagiste Festivals in Paso Robles and Solvang, Tasting Panel Magazine Tasting, Paso Robles Grand Tasting, Wine in the Pines, Family Winemakers, The Buick Discovery Tour, Sonoma Wine Country Weekend, Los Angeles Epicurean Festival, the Historic Vineyard Society, Paso Robles Zinfandel Fest, Santa Barbara County Vintners Association Tasting, Sonoma in the City and the Rhone Rangers, as well as giving full coverage of my visits to wineries. I also report on books and television shows, and have brought in guest writers, including wine industry professional and blogger Rick Fraga and Chef Eileen Wright. My frequent column header, "Perlis Picks", provides special attention to any wine related story that we think offers something unique for readers.
