Saturday, March 26, 2011 marks Cave B Estate Winery’s annual Spring Wine Release. The hallmark event is the tasting of Winemaker Freddy Arredondo’s newly-release red and white wines. This is a first taste of these first wines….and definitely worthy of celebration.
But what is this about “Stump the Chump?” With a good-natured dig at that feeling we all get at times when tasting wines–that we don’t quite know what we’re doing–this contest is a Cave B Spring Wine Release tradition. How does it work? Guests are presented with several varietals cleverly disguised in plain brown bags. Then guests are “challenged” to taste through each of the disguised wines and attempt to identify the varietals. This year is our first Super Challenge, so the winery’s sure to turn up the challenge and the heat. Always a great amount of fun, this contest has also proven to be a wonderful way for wine-lovers old and new to test their palate, refine their senses, and come away with a greater appreciation of each distinct varietal.
So, what are you doing the weekend of March 25-27? Come on down for our Spring Wine Release, challenge the wine chump inside us all, and come out victorious! Then, don’t worry about driving home: stay the night of March 26 at Cave B Inn with our special reduced Spring Wine Release Inn rates–a wonderful way to extend the fun, and give you another opportunity to visit the tasting room with your newly-awakened palate. Visit the winery page on our SageCliffe site to get ticket and room prices, and place your easy room reservation. But hurry: Inn rooms are going fast. See you at the Super Challenge!
