Glorious clear skies meant forever views along the vaulted Santa Lucia Highlands for Passport Day, Saturday, February 9. Having some girlfriends in tow who used Siri for directions resulted in a rather late rendezvous and start.
So, my friend Lolin and I enjoyed hanging out at Hahn, grooving on the 2011 Hahn Chef’s Table Noir Blanc (made from free-run pinot juice with no skin contact), paired with decadent duck confit, showing how fat likes acid, and the lovely, Audrey Hepburn-in-a-velvet-gown elegant 2011 SLH pinot, which made every bite of Chef Brian Overhauser’s multi-flavored pasta packed with wine-drunk mushrooms, parmesan cheese and prosciutto, even more enjoyable. That Hahn pinot was easily my group’s favorite red of the entire Hahn lineup, if not the entire day’s tasting.
The folks at Hahn poured their gregarious and wildly popular GSM, the polished SLH pinot gris and the intently focused 2009 cabernet franc, whose sandy tannins would complement game. Good wines, great times!
Off to Boekenoogen we went, in what became a very long procession up the driveway, held up by a huge camper – who brings a camper to an event like this? The place was already jumping like 4th graders on a trampoline, and cars were [...]]]></description>

Brilliant boating weather, blue skies and balmy temperatures made for a perfect outing to Treasure Island for one of my favorite wine events of the year – the Cabernet Shootout. Although it was officially &#8220;Gun Appreciation Day,&#8221; no firearms were present at this tasting &#8211; just a lot of big gun Napa Cabs and some beauties from Livermore and the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Among the barrels at The Winery SF, you get to blind taste some of the best Cab submitted to the Shootout, vote for your favorites and meet the winemakers behind them. In fact, you can literally blind taste til you&#8217;re blind, although that&#8217;s not recommended. Barb Drady of Affairs of the Vine, and Tom Merle, of Bay Area Wine Society, made sure this event was well-stocked with plenty of drinkable ammunition and One Brick was a beneficiary.
Congrats to winemaker Csaba Szakal of En Garde winery for getting the highest score from both male and female judges for his 2008 Diamond Mountain Cabernet from Napa in the Shootout finals. This is a big, dense, intense adult beverage – not to be toyed with unless you eat as hearty as you party.
Here are my Top Ten wines of the day, [...]]]></description>

From takeoff to landing, the Party in the Hangar, a celebration of Monterey&#8217;s best wine and food, was high-octane, barnstorming fun.
Kudos  to past MCVGA board president Scott Scheid for coming up with the idea  of the Bubble Lounge to promote under-appreciated Monterey County  sparkling wines. What’s not to love about our sensational sparkling  producers, Carraccioli, McIntyre and Scheid, with their distinctive,  delightful Champagne-style bubblies?
In the Lounge, VIPs got to indulge  in their nose-tickling sparklers, while the many local chefs put  finishing touches on a full-throttle menu of amazing first class  comestibles. Actually, probably much better than anything you’ve  recently had in First Class, unless you’re flying on a private jet, many  of which were buzzing in and out of Del Monte Aviation Center, while  the crowd rev’d up to a fever pitch of satiation.
This  event was First Class in the food department, and for that, we thank  all the amazing chefs, and the gal who rounded them up, Stefani Cheney,  director of hospitality at Scheid. “This year’s party was just as much  about the food as it was about the wine,” says Cheney, a key [...]]]></description>
