Etymology
From shed + -ista.
noun
- A low-budget independent winemaker.“If I have any complaint, it is that some of the pieces are too short. The interesting and informative article about the so-called shedistas — low-budget wineries that have sprouted up in and around Santa Barbara that are now turning out some of California’s most exciting wines — would have been even better with a few more pages.”
