Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
Our 19th Hole wines got a thumbs up from the judges at the San Francisco Wine Competition. We entered our Limited Tier 2008 Chardonnay at $25 (silver medal), our 2005 California Tier Cabernet Sauvignon at $14 (silver medal) and our 2007 California Tier Sauvignon Blanc at $10 (bronze medal).
I thought we might score a gold or two but hey as a new winery it's great to get a vote of confidence from the judges. I knew the wine was good but it's obviously biased being excited about your own wine. Kind of like a parent bragging about their own children. For folks who don't know us is certainly makes it easier to purchase our wine. Purchase wine here or feel free to call me (Kris Moe) directly at 707-529-6458.
FYI- I make about 250 cases of our Limited releases at Cahill Winery in Sebastopol, CA and we purchase our California Tier wines usually from Lodi, CA. We're expecting to do 8,000 cases this year in California, Texas, Ohio, Washington and Texas. But I also hope to add Arizona, Hawaii and Nevada. Places I like to play golf!
Some of you who don't know me probably don't realize I spent most of my life trying to make a living getting the little white ball into a hole. I had a few bright moments as a tour player (a good finish in the British Open in 85) but certainly have made a better career teaching golfers how to stop slicing, Kris Moe Golf Schools in Napa and Pebble Beach. That's the background on my label, 19th Hole. Now I'm enjoying putting both my loves together through this brand.
I'll be doing golf and wine events chasing the PGA Tour across the country again this year organizing "nine and wine" events at private clubs or whoever will have me. We'll start at the Bob Hope in the desert and hit 18 other tour stops through the year. Kind of like being a tour player again, just outside the ropes and not having to sweat over five foot putts to make a check.
We'll be pouring these wines at Fort Mason in San Francisco along with the other contestants February 20 at 2:00 pm. The ticket to attend is $60 and $80 at the door. I hope to see some of you there for a taste or two!
