    And DJ Dancing create a high energy vibe!

     

     

    Russian River Valley, CA. April 20,2011 – Russian River Valley Winegrowers (RRVW) Millennial Marketing Council, comprise of the region’s next generation of farmers, winemakers and opinion makers, is hosting the Single Vineyard Night on June 4th 2011 from 6:30 (5:30 for VIP Reception) to 10:00 p.m. at Thomas George Estates in Healdsburg, California. Last year’s inaugural event was a smash hit! Master of ceremonies, the Warriors’ Franco Finn will kick off the evening of tasting in Thomas George Estates’ 1200 square feet of caves. More than 30 Winemakers and their Grape Grower partners will present their small-lot, single vineyard wines paired with an array of single bites of food from local producers and restaurants. Tickets are $45 in advance and online only at www.rrvw.org. Limited VIP reception tickets are available for $80 per person.

     

    During the Single Vineyard tasting, RRVW’s next generation “Cellar Teams” will promote their Adventure Auction Lots for Group bidding, an economy friendly way to raise funds for RRVW to continue their work to preserve the region’s agriculture legacy through marketing and education. Hosted by millennial vintners and growers, these lots are designed for 6 to 10 people to join together and share cost on future adventures in the Russian River Valley.

     

    This year one lot will be co-hosted by Thomas George Estates and Healdsburg Active 20/30 club. Proceeds will go to fund the Coddingtown Mall Gift Cards allowing children from homeless shelters, Boys & Girls Clubs and other children’s groups to shop for school clothes. Teaser videos of the auction lots are posted on facebook.com/NextGenerationWine. Fans can also follow on twitter.com/NextGenWine.

     

    Two year host and winemaker for Hop Kiln Winery, Chuck Mansfield looks to Single Vineyard Night as “The premier event for the next generation of wine drinkers. There is no other event that gives you this exclusive of a backstage pass to the wineries, winemakers, and winegrowers that make this region what it is.”

    This is what comes up on my Firefox browser, but it is fine on Chrome (in fact the beta looks great!)

    I must say I do like the fail snail though. Also as much as the Oatmeal's guy for Groupon.....

    Hello! My name is Shana Ray, a Digital (Social Media) Marketing Director, working with wineries, restaurants & tech.

    My main website can be found at http://shanaray.com but I use this one as my social media/wine/food/music/llama blog and my way to get out my frustrations with the stuffiness that sometimes comes with wine.

    ...and I have red hair and can usually be heard before I am seen.

    I am a partner at Two Five Media and a Digital Media + PR Manager for Collaborize Classroom http://CollaborizeClassroom.com/blog

    .... yup, llamas.
