Young Winos of L.A.

Jesse Porter, right, was a 22-year-old Syracuse University graduate working long hours in L.A. as an assistant to a husband-wife filmmaking team when he posted an online invitation to other young Angelenos to form a wine-tasting group. Now, more than two years later, a core group of two dozen members (with occasional guests from the Winos' e-mail list) makes it to most of the Young Winos’ weekly tastings.
