Join The Young Winos
The weekly tastings: our gatherings are capped around sixteen Winos per meeting in order to preserve some semblance of order, and members who have spent a long time in the group receive preference in assigning those spots; however, a portion of seats at every meeting meeting is reserved for new members. Once you’ve made a profile on youngwinos.com and joined the LA chapter on that site, you’ll receive an e-mail every Sunday night detailing the coming week’s meeting and information on how to RSVP. Depending on the specifics, attendees bring either a bottle or a $10 tasting donation which gets put towards a not-for-profit Winos fund; that, in turn, pays for everything from pricey bottles for the tastings, to gas money for the field trips, to web hosting fees.

Bios:
Host Jesse Porter – “The Chairman” - arrived in Los Angeles in 2005 with nothing but a single suitcase and a dream of a wine club for young people. And also a car full of additional luggage. Oh, and his parents mailed him some other stuff as well. Jesse enjoys jammy Petite Sirahs and racy Sauv Blancs from nuclear-free countries, but his favorite wine remains big bad Barolo – the bigger and badder the better. Among Jesse’s proudest accomplishments are his birth, his support of the 2007 Cubs which doubtless helped them win the NL Central, and his coining of the definitive Young Winos tasting-order mantra: “white before red, no pain in the head. Red before white… yeah f*cking right.”
In honor of today’s Rockstar piece, we have decided to rank the Top 5 Greatest Metal Guitarists of all time. Luckily metal hasn’t been around too long so most of these guys are pretty well known. So here we go:

4. Randy Rhoads- Ozzy/Quiet Riot
3. Angus Young- AC/DC
2. James Hetfield- Metallica
1.Tony Iommi- Black Sabbath
Agree or disagree on the order, it’s up to you, however you cannot deny that all of these dudes rocked.
Dean Zelinsky has become legend by designing some of the hottest guitars in use by famous rockers. Dean started his first company, “Dean Guitars” in 1976 and made a name for himself by working hard and designing amazing guitars. In 2008 Dean decided to part ways with his first company and has now started a new company that goes back to the roots of what makes a rocking guitar.
