FAMILY WINEMAKERS OF CALIFORNIA “TASTING 2010” SAN FRANCISCO EARLY BIRD TICKET SPECIAL ENDS ON AUGUST 1^st

Save 30 Percent Off At-The-Door Price for The World’s Most Comprehensive Tasting of California Wines, August 22, 2010

Sacramento, CA (July 15, 2010) – The Early Bird Ticket Special for the Family Winemakers of California’s 20^th Annual Tasting ends August 1^st. Tasting 2010 marks the 20^th Anniversary of the Family Winemakers’ Tasting, which has grown to become the most comprehensive tasting of California wines in the world. With an Early Bird Special that gives wine enthusiasts an outstanding discount off the at-the-door price, it’s no wonder that tickets to the event are selling fast, said Paul Kronenberg, the Family Winemakers of California’s president.

“Tasting 2010 gives wine lovers in Northern California the chance to taste from over 325 family-owned wineries, pouring nearly 1,000 different wines,” added Kronenberg. “The Tasting, which was originally created and held only for members of the wine buying trade, is open to the public on August 22^nd for a special, three-hour opportunity to taste from several small boutique wineries from across the state, some of which produce fewer than 500 cases each year. Those who want to take a journey through some of the best California wines on the market should take advantage of this special Early Bird Pricing, and get their passes before it’s too late.”

Tasting 2010 will be held at Festival Pavilion at the Fort Mason Center on Sunday, August 22^nd and Monday, August 23^rd. The event is open to the public on Sunday from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. Qualified members of the wine buying trade are invited to the event both days from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m.

Ticket prices for Tasting 2010 are as follows: Early Bird Special is $45 per ticket through August 1^st, $55 between August 2^nd and August 21^st, and $65 at the door. If you have a group of 10 or more it is $5 less than the current price.
