LAWine Fest (Long Beach)

This popular event blazed a trail in LA to bring wine and people together in a fun, inviting and accessible way. A local institution, we’re known to deliver a sun-kissed outdoor event that balances fun, exploration and education, with all things wine. Joel M. Fisher. Ph.D. launched the LAWineFest in 2006.

He was a member of the Society of Wine Educators, The Circle of Wine Writers (UK), the International Federation of Wine & Spirits writers, the author of the “Wine Work Book,” and a wine columnist for several publications.
