After taking courses at CSU Fresno and UC Davis, Michael and his wife, Joey moved to California\u2019s central coast. His first winery job was in 2001, where he quickly progressed from a cellar position into the laboratory. In 2003, Michael started at Le Vigne Winery as Assistant Winemaker, the same year he met Chris Behr. Chris was searching for someone to make wine from his first harvest of Cabernet Sauvignon. After tasting the wine, they both realized that it was the start of something special.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019 Michael and Joey partnered with Chris and Linda Behr to create exciting, award-winning wines from Oso Libre Winery. One of Michael\u2019s favorites is Por Vida, a blend featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, Primitivo and Mourvedre, blended with harmony and balance in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Michael\u2019s strong background in Agricultural Business has helped with all aspects of winemaking. He says \u201cThere are many facets to being a winemaker, from walking the vineyard to interacting with customers in the tasting room. Even the hectic sleepless environment of harvest can be joyful. A tremendous feeling results at the end of much hard work and nurturing the vines, concentrated into a wonderful vintage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Join Michael &amp; Joey Barreto on this \u201cBucket List\u201d trip to Bordeaux, arguably the world\u2019s greatest wine region, sailing on the delightful river ship AmaDolce. On board there will be an ample provision of wines from Oso Libre Winery, along with local vintages. There are wonderful pre and post cruise tours, of Bordeaux city and Basque Spain, on each side of the 7-night \u201cTaste of Bordeaux\u201d river cruise.<\/p>\n<p>This exclusive holiday is dedicated to great food, fine wines and plentiful sunshine. Join us for this once in a lifetime wine experience.<\/p>\n<p>Michael &amp; Joey Barreto<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-400335448\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1186955944\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1013\" src=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/oso28\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2026\/09\/PHOTO-Michael-Joey-Barreto-DANUBE-RIVER-April-2026.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/oso28\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2026\/09\/PHOTO-Michael-Joey-Barreto-DANUBE-RIVER-April-2026.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/oso28\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2026\/09\/PHOTO-Michael-Joey-Barreto-DANUBE-RIVER-April-2026-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/oso28\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2026\/09\/PHOTO-Michael-Joey-Barreto-DANUBE-RIVER-April-2026-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/oso28\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2026\/09\/PHOTO-Michael-Joey-Barreto-DANUBE-RIVER-April-2026-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1186955944 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1542351102 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-457966214\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact &#8211; Heather McLemore<br \/>Direct Line &#8211; <a href=\"tel:17149759941\">1-714-975-8167<\/a><br \/>Email &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:Heather@Expanding-Horizons.com\">Heather@Expanding-Horizons.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"margin-top:1.4em;margin-bottom:1.4em;max-width:50%;height:1px;background-color:rgb(196, 161, 95);\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1007425549\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"348\" height=\"42\" src=\"https:\/\/toursandwine.com\/oso28\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/231\/2026\/09\/LOGO-Oso-Libre-black-white-from-Michael-Barreto.png\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1007425549 {\n  width: 80%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1459520349\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><em><strong>Please note: This Taste of Bordeaux Cruise 2028 (hosted by Oso Libre Winery) wine tasting tour is created by our tour operator, Expanding Horizons of Tustin, CA in conjunction with AmaWaterways.
