Darek, the owner and winemaker, will be pouring at the annual public tasting held at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. Enjoy stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge on Saturday, February 18th from 2-5 p.m.
This is the largest competition of American wines in the world, and it is much more than just a wine tasting – it’s a wine and food experience. Featured at this event will be a sampling of hand crafted creations from premier artisan food purveyors, which will include award winning artisan breads, savory meats, exotic oils, hand crafted cheeses, delicious desserts, sumptuous sauces, and other exquisite delicacies.
We've submitted six of our wines and are awaiting the results. We took home a double gold medal for 2005 Laughlin Road Zinfandel last year!
