As seen in WineBusiness.com
Since 1995, LearnAboutWine.com has grown to become the most trusted source for quality trade and consumer events in Southern California.
The STARS concept was built to be an efficient; quality oriented marketing focus for top quality brands. We use the best locations, invite only wine buyers and key press, and host an intimate consumer event that is oriented towards wine sales.
The Annual STARS of CAB will be a showcase of both well-known high tier producers and exciting new top quality brands. We invite relevant press and trade accounts to attend an effective trade tasting, and market and promote a successful consumer event with a charity benefactor (not a charity tasting – but a wine marketing event that benefits a charity). The events will benefit T.J. Martell Foundation - Leukemia, Cancer and AIDS Research.

STARS FACTS:
- This is not a charity event that attracts random consumers.
- This is a quality wine marketing showcase with a charity benefactor.
- We have worked for 15 years to build relationships with over 40,000 consumers.
- We invite and discuss our tastings with over 3,400 trade accounts – one at a time.
- Quality database of On and Off Premise accounts (Key Focus)
- We now charge non-buyers to attend our trade tastings.
- We are working to improve the trade tasting experience and offering a low cost fee to non-buyers assists us in this process.
- The fee is designed to separate BUYERS from non-buyers, not to allow for more profit. These events target buyers. Buyers want a better experience and enjoy being in a room of buyers, not random trade.
- Brokers and distributors will be invited to help improve your distribution.
- Distributor reps are not complimentary – only invited management.
- Our events are limited in size and focus on top quality trade accounts and consumer audiences.
A limited set of approximately 40 selected vintners will share and benefit from this marketing effort. We invite winery executive, owner, and/or winemaker to be present and encourage you to have your area broker, distributor or representatives in attendance as well.
Trade Event from 2:00-5:00pm: LearnAboutWine will produce a highly effective trade event. Invitations will go to the top profiled restaurants, key hand-selling retailers, and invite only press. Our trade/media invite process is highly organized. Our efforts include the use of various media resources; including an extensive list of established contacts and the hard work of staying current with new accounts, buyers, and important cutting-edge points of distribution. A dedicated public relations firm invites only targeted accounts and works to expose this quality event to the world of magazines, TV, radio and blogosphere.
Consumer Event from 7:00-9:30pm: We are thrilled to once again fully produce a high-end, educationally focused consumer event, reaching out with marketing and PR to our 40,000 consumer database. This will be a significant effort and offers the consumers a great value, selling tickets for $100-150 per person.

Praise for STARS Events!
"I know what it takes to make an event look smooth as silk to the outside world, and you all did an amazing job! From the lunch right through to the always dreaded/questionable consumer tasting, you pulled together a truly valuable platform for us to introduce our wine. Thank you and I look forward to future events. "
Ursula Hermacinski, (Formerly with Screaming Eagle)
“I can’t think of a more appropriately named team. Everything that Learn About Wine does is educational. Even to the most wine knowledgeable (included the most jaded professional wine buyer or wine collector) there is always something new and interesting – a discovery around every corner.”
- Michael L. Updegraff, Updegraff Marketing – Consultant to the wine industry
"I just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed the tasting last night. I attend a lot of tastings, and you should know that you guys did a first class job all the way across the board."
- Mike Campbell, Hospitality & Events Coordinator, Pride Mountain Vineyards
