We just popped reminder notices in the mail. A winery assessment is $900, a lodgings assessment is $500. Form is also HERE

If you would like to make multiple payments, we're happy to make that work, use the printed invoice we just mailed.

We have now sold 40 tickets.

Please use this toolkit  to help promote this event.

 33 Wineries  /  $50 per person  / Goal to sell 300 tickets

This is a very casual tasting event - no wristbands, glasses or RSVP lists - everyone will have their ticket on their phone and they will all be "walk-in" tasters.

Questions:  Debbie@wineroad.com

So far we have quite a few winery employees, but also wine educators from across the country, wine shop owners, somms and long-time frequent Wine Road visitors. It's been fun to see who takes the test.  People are commenting on social about the program.

If YOU earned your "pin", share on social #WineRoadAmbassador. That will help us generate even more interest - team work.

Tickets Go On Sale Thursday...here we go!

Debbie has the wineries all listed online along with their recipe name. Wineries will soon be uploading their actual recipes, so we'll have those to share with attendees.

Our goal is to sell 2000 tickets.  Questions, contact our Event Manager Debbie Osborn

Before You Print New Labels - Make Sure You Understand This New Requirement.

Wine Institute has published a comprehensive web page on the updated California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act (better known as the Bottle Bill). Legislative changes to the bill mean, effective January 1, 2024, wine and spirits containers will be added into California’s beverage container recycling program. Beginning July 1, 2025, wine and spirits products sold for consumption in California will be required to be labeled with California Redemption Value (CRV) indicia.

The web page has an implementation guide for wineries, a list of frequently asked questions as well as additional resources. Members with further questions are welcome to contact Wine Institute's Sacramento office.

Make it happen, sign-up to go tasting.

Bring a bottle for your host (not required, but oh so nice) and if you have referral cards, bring enough to share a stack with everyone at the tasting, then SHARE your experience on social, tag @thewineroad and #sipsonoma
