Best Wine Club Stockton Near Me

4worldlovers: Tierra Luna Cellars is the inspiration of Astronaut Jose M. Hernandez. Born into a migrant farm working family from Mexico, José – who didn’t learn English until he was 12 years old – spent much of his childhood on what he calls the California circuit, traveling with his family from Mexico to California’s southern San Joaquin Valley each March, then working their way northward to the Stockton area by summer, picking strawberries, cucumbers, cherries, tomatoes and grapes along the way. In late November, they would return to Mexico spending Christmas and waiting for March to start the cycle all over again.

While in California, Jose’s weekends were filled with laboring in the fields with his family, and while the end of the school year meant summer fun for his peers, it meant working 7 days a week in the hot summer fields for José and his family. The neighborhoods he lived in were not the best and often plagued with drugs, alcohol, and gang violence.

Through all of this, Jose’s parents stayed strong and focused on their children’s education which allowed José to dream of one day reaching the stars. Determined to fulfill his dream, José obtained his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Electrical Engineering. After a successful career as an engineer and scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he worked on the development of an X-ray laser, helped developed the first full-field digital mammography system for the early detection of breast cancer and travelled to Russia to work in the nuclear non-proliferation arena, José joined NASA in 2000 and was selected as part of the 19th class of U.S. Astronauts in 2004.

4worldlovers:
Great place to grab snacks and variety of liquor options. I was pleasantly surprised with the unique IPA beer selection.

I love this family owned shop. Place is clean and prices are decent!

It is a friendly, safe place to go, not like some liquor stores! The family that owns and operates this store are warm and gracious. It is a pleasure to go there!
