There was lots of Santa Barbara Winery wine going around at after hours events around town this weekend, including a private tasting for Team in Training as well as an event hosted by Fess Parker’s Doubletree Resort a few blocks away.
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training has been helping save lives for over 20 years. The program provides training to run or walk in marathons and half marathons or participate in a triathlon. Members help raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and since 1988 have raised more than $850 million. The Santa Barbara chapter held their recommitment event in our winery tasting room after hours last Thursday. This was the last after hours event we will have in the winery until Harvest 2008 wraps up as winemakers need access to the barrel room at all times.
Saturday evening Fess Parker’s Doubletree hosted their own mini wine event in the Grand Ballroom for the California Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. Production assistant Cameron Bendetsen poured a selection of four wines at a table on the outside patio framed by the ocean. The selection included 2007 Pinot Gris, 2007 Chardonnay, and the 2006 Lafond SRH Pinot Noir. Other participants in the event included Jaffurs Wine Cellars, Whitcraft, Prodigal, Melville, Summerland, Carr, Fiddlehead, and Brander.
