Spring Fest, River Road Wine Trail and Wine Club Dinner, 2008
The winery was open to the public from 11am to 4pm for wine tasting with live music and wonderful food, carne asada complements of Assistant Winemaker Miquel Martinez. That evening the Barrel Room was open for an exclusive, sold out, Flight Club Dinner, where owners Randy Pura and Bruce Sterten walked guests through the wines paired with each course. Attendees also had an opportunity to purchase the not-yet-released 2006 Pinot Noir, which just won Gold and Best of Class at the Pacific Rim International Wine Competition the previous week. A special thanks to Flight Club Member Bob Borden for these excellent photographs.
