                        SLA/SCC – LACASIS&T JOINT HOLIDAY PROGRAM


Date:           Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Speaker:   Wes Hagen

Wes Hagen is the vineyard manager and winemaker for Clos Pepe Vineyards and Estate Wines, as well as Axis Mundi Wines, Clos Pepe’s second label.  Wes retired from a lucrative career in public education to become a winemaker in 1996.  His early training came from UC Davis’ Extension program, his work in 1996 at Babcock Winery, and from a decade of home winemaking in Southern California.

Wes wears a lot of hats in the wine biz.  He manages the vineyard at Clos Pepe and makes the wine for the Estate and Axis Mundi labels with his wife, Chanda.  Wes also writes a regular column for WineMaker Magazine, and has written for the Burgundy Report, Color and Aroma Magazine and a feature article in the Los Angeles Times Magazine.  Wes has served as a professional wine judge for fifteen years, chairing panels at 4 different International Wine Competitions.  Wes won the central Coast Winegrower of the Year in 2001-2002, and has successfully petitioned the Federal Government for the establishment of two American Viticultural Areas, the Santa Rita Hills and Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA’s, and is working on a third:  Ballard Canyon AVA.  Wes puts in extensive effort in promoting Clos Pepe and the Santa Rita Hills as a premier Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wine growing area.

Wes also loves educating the public on the subject of wine and wine history, and gives tours and tastings by appointment at Clos Pepe.  He is a local industry leader in the use of social networking and web 2.0. Wes can be reached via email at wes@clospepe.com, is on Facebook as Wes Hagen, and has an impressive Twitter following at twitter.com/weshagen .  In his free time Wes enjoys hiking, drinking, photography, creative writing, playing Latin and African percussion, studying Shaolin Kung Fu and playing video games.

Wes will be speaking on the history of Southern California winemaking with a strong emphasis on Santa Barbara.
