July 19th Nine and Wine a Blast!

After playing a deviously challenging executive nine in Sebastopol (most of the holes were par threes but they 200 yards plus and they had tiny greens). We scooted over to the winery for some refreshing tastes of a 2005 Sauvignon Blanc. On hand was a friend of my father, Danny Chung, who happens to be a Master Sommelier (fewer than 200 in the US). So discussions of wine was at a higher level than normal.

After lunch at the winery long table, we enjoyed tasting some futures wine in the cellar room. We tried Malbecs, Merlots, Cabs and even Ports. At the end we filled a few bottles and our guests not only corked the bottles but labeled them too. Just another golf and wine event with the 19th Hole Wine Club. Come out for the next one!

Golf and bottling outing during British Open July 19

British Open week is always special to me since I had two good finishes in that tournament in 1985 (25th) and 1986 (72nd). To get everyone in the mood for some great links golf at Royal Birkdale I'm throwing a golf event July 19th up here in the Russian River Valley appellation at a course called Sebastopol.

After a quick round we'll get to some wine fun at my wine production loacation just down the road, Cahill Winery. We'll grill, taste the three wines I have in barrels and then bottle a barrel I have of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (24 cases). If you like the wine, we'll have a bottling day special and you can bring home some!

Cost for the day, $60. You can call me at 707-529-6458 to sign up.
