BlindWine – Wine Tasting Game for Wine Tasting Parties

EVENT DETAILS:

The 19th annual Family Winemakers of California Tasting will be held Sunday, August 23, 2009, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. This popular event features close to 400 family-owned wineries from California's top wine regions and showcases some of California's finest wines, many of them from small, boutique wineries.

This comprehensive tasting gives consumers first-hand access to new wineries, wines and grape varieties they may never have heard of, and the winemakers and winery owners themselves. From undiscovered gems to old favorites and California wine classics, the Family Winemakers Tasting is a rare opportunity to try California's newest and best wines. Most wineries in attendance are high-end, small production (under 5,000 cases per year) wineries from a variety of regions around California, including Napa, Sonoma, Sierra Foothills, Paso Robles, Mendocino and more. And each year the event attracts more than 50 "new" wineries that have not previously attended. Wisconsin cheeses and Marcel & Henri Pate are served at the event to complement the wines.
