Serial Wines, part of the John Anthony Wine & Spirits portfolio, is thrilled to announce its sponsorship of several upcoming film festivals, reinforcing its commitment to celebrating the power of film alongside the art of winemaking. Based in the vibrant Paso Robles wine region, Serial Wines will partner with both the San Diego International Film Festival and the Newport Beach Film Festival, both taking place in October.
Serial Wines Celebrates Film Through New Partnerships
Serial is a collection of hand-crafted wines sourced from across Paso Robles—one of America’s most bio-diverse wine regions. The winery showcases exceptional winegrowers from Paso’s 11 districts and sub-AVAs, telling their stories through single varietal bottlings, nuanced blends, and vineyard designate releases.
“Serial Wines was founded on the premise of curiosity for Paso Robles as it emerges as a world-class winegrowing region,” said John Anthony Truchard, Founder and CEO of John Anthony Wine & Spirits. “Our winemaker, Jeff Kandarian, introduced us to remarkable growers, enabling us to craft wines that reflect this diverse terroir. This shared passion for creation drew us into the film world, and we are excited to pour Serial at these festivals.”
Upcoming Festival Highlights
- San Diego International Film Festival (Oct. 16 – 20, 2024): As the official wine sponsor, Serial will pour at the Opening Night Gala at the Museum of Photographic Arts on Oct. 16. Attendees can enjoy tastings of the 2023 Serial White Blend, 2021 Serial Red Blend, and 2020 Serial Cabernet Sauvignon.
