The Bay Area Wine Society, in cooperation with Affairs of the Vine, is presenting a unique afternoon of wine education and tasting.
 For many vinophiles, January is associated with a major tasting of Zinfandels. Now fans of Cabernet can also indulge their passion at the beginning of the year in one of the most dramatic settings in the Bay Area - The Winery SF on Treasure Island
Over a number of weeks this past fall, Affairs of the Vine convened a select panel of 41 wine makers, writers, buyers, educators, and consultants for a Cabernet Shootout of close to 300 limited production, artisan Cabs, Cab Francs and Cab blends from 56 different appellations. Without regard to price, vintage or region, the panel then arrived at 64 finalists, resulting in the selection of 32 "best of the best."
Each attendee at the Cabernet Shootout Challenge will assess a flight of 16 wines containing five of the top 10 wines chosen by the panelists-- and select their favorites. In this special Pro-Am competition, the results of the professionals' Cab Shootout will then be compared to the tally of the amateurs' Cab Challenge, both tabulated by gender.
This distinctly different format provides a unique opportunity to compare your consumer palate against those of 'experts' in the wine industry. It also allows participants to sample other than the usual suspects and rate rising star wineries such as Il Barone, Dusinberre, L'Amante, HeartSafe, Scherrer, Prestwood, Firefly Night, Canine, and VJB.
Afterward, a walk around tasting, accompanied by various Cab friendly gourmet nibbles, will feature such boutique Cab Shootout wineries as En Garde, Sol Rouge, Blue Rock, Bonneau, Perrucci, Hidden Ridge, McGrail, Penman Springs, Serene, Stella Monsi, and VGS. With only 200 tickets to be sold, you will have plenty of opportunity to chat with the vintners without being jostled as you would be at the mega tastings.
In addition, the Cab Challenge offers two concurrent panel sessions with winemakers who will discuss how this noble varietal is influenced by the terroir of different grape growing areas.
One session will explore the distinctive features of mountain AVAs vs. those on the valley floor.
Panelists:
Kenny Kahn, winemaker and proprietor, Blue Rock Vineyard, Alexander Valley,
Bryan Kane, winemaker and proprietor, Sol Rouge, Red Hills (Lake County)
Tim Milos, winemaker, Hidden Ridge Vineyard, Sonoma County,
Jim Rickards, winemaker and proprietor, J Rickards Winery, Alexander Valley
Moderator: Edgar Vogt, wine educator
The other workshop will examine how the viticultural characteristics of several regions in the state guide the decisions of different winemakers.
Panelists:
Jim Bambury, winemaker and proprietor ,Bonneau Wines, Los Carneros,
Mark Clarin, winemaker, McGrail Vineyards and Winery, Livermore
Carl McCasland, proprietor, Penman Springs Vineyard, Paso Robles,
Greg Perrucci, co-winemaker & proprietor, Perrucci Family Vineyard, Santa Cruz Mountains
Moderator: Laura Ness, wine writer
One Brick, a nonprofit that provides volunteer assistance to charitable organizations, is our beneficiary and will also be raffling off bottles of Cab from the producers who participated in the Cabernet Shootout. With a favorable ratio of winery to attendee, the odds are quite good that you could walk away with a bottle of award winning Cabernet Sauvignon.
TRANSIT: Easy Muni access which also serves BART customers

Hosted By
Bay Area Wine Society
The Bay Area Wine Society seeks to encourage the appreciation of wine in all its many dimensions from the juice itself to viticulture and human culture. Our goal is to keep it informal and fun yet informative. Any member can coordinate a program or suggest a place to gather
We sponsor sit down blind tastings whose results are posted on our blog and walk around tastings, both featuring new releases from limited production California wineries. We also facilitate discounted wine sales and fulfillment between the participating wineries and our members.
