All White and Blanc

Santa Barbara winemaker Doug Margerum celebrated the launch of his new sauvignon blanc with a boffo bash fieldside at the Santa Barbara Polo Club where the new label is being sold.

His “all white” party for 150 guests at the weekend, featured all of his labels, including his popular Rhône varietal M5 and a host of Mexican canapès.

Doug formerly owned the Wine Cask, a tiara’s toss from the Lobero, from 1981 to 2007 and has been a significant feature on our Eden by the Beach’s food and wine scene for more than 30 years with his popular tasting room across from the Hotel Californian. 

Among the avid oenophiles turning out were David Alvarez, William Tomicki, Lisa Faitell, Robert Daugherty, John Barnick, Jenny Belushi, Heather Rosenfeld, Hugh Margerum, Peter and Kathryn Martin, and Lisa Delany.
