Lost Angeles

Hello!

Carolyn Turner, Carina Cellars' national sales manager reporting from the road, and I have just spent a couple wonderful days selling Carina Cellars to restaurants and wine bars in Orange County and Los Angeles and have visited some really wonderful restaurants and wine bars, and so wanted to share a few with you. 

On Tuesday I spent the day working with the gregarious Colby Hagen, who is one of the reps that I work with for our distributor (American Wines). We spent the day in Newport Beach and Corona del Mar, and had lunch at The Golden Truffle, which was delicious! We also visited a few other wonderful places like Villa Nova, Wildfish, Wine Gallery, The Bungalow, Brix Wine bar and Spark restaurant...a very packed day!

Then I spent Wednesday working with another American Wines rep, the illustrious Patrick Garvey, who was wonderful company. We took the wines around to several hot spots in Santa Monica, and especially enjoyed lunch at Gjelina (featured above from left: Patrick Garvey ready to dig in!, avocado & beet salad, turkey sandwich and chickpea soup)

If there is a restaurant or wine shop you would like to see Carina Cellars at, please contact me at 805-252-0860 or carolyn@carinacellars.com

Cheers!
