As Spring approaches, it becomes event season for the JK Wine Company. The time of year when life in the winery is slow and bud break is just beginning in the vineyard. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year because it allows me to meet and interact with wine lovers.
First on tap is the 2011 Rhône Rangers Grand Tasting in San Francisco on March 26 and March 27, 2011. This tasting, held at the historic Fort Mason center, features over 500 wines from more than 100 Rhône Ranger wineries. Along with your wine, sample gourmet cheeses, breads and olive oils. As a board member for the Rhône Rangers Organization, I look forward to this event every year. It’s a great opportunity to showcase our Rhône focused KATIN wines and I also really enjoy escaping up to San Francisco for the weekend.
Next, JK Wine Company can be found at the Earth Day Food and Wine Festival put on by the Central Coast Vineyard Team at Pomar Junction Winery in Templeton, CA on April 16, 2011. Just minutes from Paso Robles, we will be attending for our third year. This event features wines from sustainable farmed vineyards on the Central Coast. Sample foods and wines from purveyors that strive to nurture a healthy environment.
Two weeks later, JK Wine Company will be found at Hospice du Rhône. The catchy slogan for this year’s Hospice du Rhone is “So You Think You Can Rhône”. The 19th annual Hospice du Rhone is April 28-30, 2011. A whole weekend surrounding all things Rhone! JK Wine Company will be participating in many of the events, including ‘Rhône and Bowl’, an annual bowling tournament in which I can show off my bowling skills, or lack thereof! We are also going to have a Winemaker Dinner at Artisan on Friday, April 29 ,2011. Mark your calendars because the combination of Artisan’s superb local fare and JK Wine Company wines is a duo to not be missed. Of course we will be pouring our Rhône wines at the Grand Tasting on Saturday, April 30, 2011 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
This Spring will prove to be a busy, but exciting time for The JK Wine Company and we hope to see you at one of our upcoming events!
