Doug Margerum & Fred Brander share some benchmark wines and personal history from The Wine Cask in the foodie heaven Presidio District of Santa Barbara. Brander Vineyards first planted Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc back in the ’70s, and it was under Branders’s tutelage that Margerum grew to become THE rockstar of Santa Barbara Wine! Margerum also led Host Lee Abbott through his first wine tasting course way back in the 80’s. Watch as they share a little of the story.
