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 at clospepe.com, is on Facebook as Wes Hagen, and
has an impressive Twitter following at twitter.com/weshagen .  In his free
