Welcome Sammy!!!!

12 Signs will be participating in this year's annual San Diego Wine Show April 27-28th at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.  

With tastings, live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, and speakers this is an event not to miss!

This year’s San Diego Wine Show has something for amateur imbibers and carafe connoisseurs alike. Venture to the world-renowned Del Mar Fairgrounds on April 27th and 28th to sample hundreds of selections from some of the Pacific Coast’s finest wineries, including Freemark Abbey, 12 Signs Wine, Orfila Vineyards, Wilson Creek and many more. Savor wonderful whites and refreshing reds while schmoozing with sommeliers about all things wining and dining.

Of course, the benefits of the event merely begin with the bottle. Soak up the Southern California sun while being serenaded with live music. Settle in under the big tent for creative cooking demos and scrumptious samples from famed chefs. Or, simply stroll the paddock and peruse a bountiful buffet of cigars, olive oil, cheeses, chocolates and other irresistible gourmet items that creatively complement the vast variety of vino on hand. Plus, the fairground’s 17 Hands restaurant will be open during event hours to ensure you can dabble in drinks with a comfortably-curbed appetite.

It may not be horseracing, but you can place your money on uncorking a lot of fun and excitement at the San Diego Wine Show.

Capricorn is the sign of the goat.  A mountain goat can climb any mountain with the surest footing, slowly making it's way to the top.  Once a Capricorn has set their sights upon a goal, they will keep climbing and climbing until they get there.  This sign knows the value of perseverance, determination, and a slow methodical approach.  

Like the successful Capricorn, our Cabernet Sauvignon was not made overnight.  It spent almost 2 years in the barrels and months on the vines before it ever hit your lips.  It also hails from the highest points of Sonoma Valley, 2500 feet about the sea level, where a Capricorn goat feels most comfortable.  

Capricorn - the sign of perseverance. 

As the sign of the Scales, Libra weighs each of their decisions very carefully, figuring out the pros and cons to both sides before they make a move.  This means that they make excellent negotiators, hosts, analysts, judges, lawyers, and spouses because they understand the situation from other's point of view.  Luckily for Libra, the choice of red or white is a win-win either way!

Aquarius is one of the most unique signs in the zodiac.  They hate to be put into categories, or boxes.  The friendly Waterbearer beats to the sound of their own drum.  For the Aquarius wine, we made sure that our Chardonnay was unlike most.  It was primarily fermented in stainless steel, instead of oak barrels, to give it a vibrant and crisp flavor profile that the Aquarius is sure to appreciate.

Aquarius prefers to be out of the box.

These cheeky ads are a fun way of adding a little wine and astrology humor into the brand.  We hope you like them.
