We just wrapping up our wine tasting event at Fort Mason in San Francisco last Sayurday. I announced in an email to our contest entrants from the tasting that Candy Baker (Medford, OR) and Heidi Whitehouse (Modesto, CA) were the winners of a golf lesson and a couple bottles of wine.
It was our first go and I found the crowd to be great. They were interested in the wines and very friendly. Interestingly many tasters under 32 years old. Us folks in the wine business love that generation because so many of them really enjoy their wine and bring a refreshing openess to what they'll try!
The event flies by. The doors open at 1:15 pm and the place is full very quickly. It was orderly (at least where I was) with just enough of a crowd to keep us on our toes. I'd say in three hours I poured for 300 people. Our Cabernet Sauvignon was most requested followed by our limited Chardonnay. At 4:45 the crowd was signaled to go and they did. By five o'clock the place was cleared out (pretty impressive).
Our next wine tasting is February 25th in San Francisco followed by the Family Wine Maker's tasting in Del Mar, CA March 14 and Pasadena (for trade only) March 16th.

San Francisco Chronicle Wine Tasting February 20
Here's a great opportunity to taste some of best American wines in one place. I believe it's $80 and that gets you a tasting glass and I'm sure enough tasty nibbles to get you through lunch. This will be my first appearance and I'll be pouring our award winning wines, a Cabernet Sauvignon, our limited Chardonnay and our Sauvignon Blanc.
Come on by and say hello!
