Why trek all the way to Santa Barbara when you can enjoy some of their best wines from the future in Century City? Actually, it’s the Santa Barbara County Futures Wine Tasting co-sponsored by one of my fave wine stores, West L.A.’s Wine House, and taking place in Hyatt Regency Century Plaza.

For $65 ($85 for VIP and 1-hour early entry) you can savor over 110 top wines from 39 SB wineries like Au Bon Climat, Flying Goat, Hitching Post, Melville and Qupe, to name just a few of those hand-picked by the discerning Wine House buyers. And what makes this wine fest stand out from most is that you actually have the opportunity to purchase these futures at a discount ahead of their standard release dates.

But the best part? You can actually get tickets to this event for only $39 (plus $6 fee) through Goldstar. Hm, maybe you should book a room at the Hyatt while you’re at it.

EVENT: SATURDAY, JUNE 6 from 2 to 5pm
