Inaugural Grape and Grill BBQ
This past Saturday we hosted our Inaugural Grape and Grill BBQ. This event was an opportunity to highlight Meditrina {5} and Evolution, 12th Edition - both food-friendly wines that are the perfect fit for Summer BBQs! We were excited to have the crew from Phresh Organic Catering out preparing delectable bites accompanied with the 2008 Sokol Blosser Cellar Club BBQ Sauce winner Joe Valente's secret recipe.
A couple of months ago we asked Cellar Club members to submit a BBQ sauce recipe to be featured at the big event. We then narrowed down the entries to two. We used this as an excuse to have a killer staff lunch. I prepared both the recipes and then accepted votes from everyone. The winner was Joe Valente of Ft. Collins, Colorado. GREAT JOB, JOE!
The weather started off quite chilly for a July summer day, but soon turned in to one of the nicest days of the year. Clear blue skies and sun provided us with ideal weather. Bluegrass music from Josh and Rachael Cole of the Josh Cole Band added to the atmosphere. Thanks Josh and Rachael!
We had the opportunity to meet and catch up with new guests and long time Cellar Club Members. Thanks to all who joined us in the festivities. We are all looking forward to next year!
PS - We are now accepting reservation for our Summer Vineyard Hikes & Lunch on August 9th and 23rd. Give me a call to reserve your spot!
