San Francisco, Calif. (September 21, 2016) – The recently formed New Mission Winemakers coalition will hold their second annual wine tasting for the trade/media and public on Nov 12th in the SOMA neighborhood of San Francisco. The tasting will feature these storied Bay Area wine producers:

Flywheel Wines – Scott Shapely specializes in small-lots of Pinot Noir, Grenache, Chardonnay and Mourvedre made in the heart of San Francisco. With experience from Siduri and Halcon, he focuses on fruit grown in Monterey County for Flywheel.
August West – A true Pinot specialist with an impressive and storied career, Ed Kurtzman has had his hands in dozens of legendary projects. His August West wines are made in San Francisco and embody his decades of experience.
