Between wine sampling stops on Tehachapi Blvd. were new Tehachapi residents Connie and Dieter Brehn in their festive best.

Tasting glass in hand and ready to sample more wines are Daphne and Vinod Sherring.

Glass in hand, but finding it a little hard to sample the wines, is abominable snowman Yvett Christine.

Center of the photo is Co-Owner of Rancho Los Viajeros Ilda Vaja, surrounded by fellow pours Kerstin Bassler and Rosanna Vaughn.

Attired in costumes to honor the rich railroad history of Tehachapi are members of the Reich Family. Last year the family appeared as penguins at the winter wine walk.

Pours for local grower Stray Leaves Vineyard were done at the Depot and was the first of 19 additional sampling stops.

Wine host #8 was at The Dressing Room where Queens Peak, Red Blend was featured.
