Rotary Wine Tasting
2009
The Rotary Club of Key Biscayne Foundation hosted the 5th Annual Key
Biscayne Wine, Food & Silent Auction. The 2009 event featured an
extraordinary tasting of "California's Best Limited Production." More
than 18 boutique wineries poured artisan, vineyard-designated wines made
in single barrels from superior appellations. The event provided a rare
opportunity for wine enthusiasts to sample and purchase a selection of
limited production wineries at a single wine tasting event. Independent
judges conducted a blind tasting and awarded "best of the best"
recognition to the 2005 Black Coyote Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve.
The top six finalist wines were:
2005 Black Coyote Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (Winner of the "Best of the
Best" Award)
2007 Ellman Family Vineyards Jemma, Napa Valley Red Wine;
2007 SUNBOX Eleven Winery The Muse Petite Sirah, Eaglepoint Ranch,
Mendocino
2008 Robeldo Family Vineyards Pinot Noir, Carneros
2005 Deerfield Ranch Winery Red Rex Blend
2007 Wine Guerilla Wines Goat Trek Old Vine Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley
We thank the Key Biscayne community and our corporate sponsors for
supporting this event. We appreciate your patronage and hope to see you
next year. Full details at www.keybiscaynewinefest.com
The wineries extended the deadline to submit wine orders to all the members of the affiliated organizations. They will honor event prices on any orders through this Friday 11/20/09. I will be directing all members of Rotary, ARC and Manos del Sur to look up the ratings/prices so no one misses out.
