San Diego Wine Storage hosted Red Stitch Winery, co-owned by former baseball world champion Dave Roberts, at our Solana Beach facility on February 4th. The event was packed as SDWS members got a chance to sample Red Stitch’s portfolio of wines from Napa and Santa Lucia Highlands.

Dave was joined by his partner and former San Francisco Giants teammate Rich Aurilia to present their flagship 2011 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon along with an impressive selection of 2013 single vineyard pinot noirs and a crowd pleasing, minerally chardonnay from Santa Lucia Highlands. 

The SLH wines were just released so our SDWS members were the first to taste the vintage. In total Red Stitch produces only 700 cases of wine, so it was a real treat for everyone to not only taste these impressive wines but to talk a little baseball with Dave Roberts, enshrined by all Boston Red Sox fans for “The Steal” in game 4 of the 2004 American League Championship series that propelled the Red Sox to their first World Series title since 1918.
