As you know, the Russian River Valley Winegrowers Millennial Council is throwing THE party of the year in Sonoma County. Single Night is an evening featuring Single Vineyard Origin wines — some of the most sought after small-lot bottlings in the world of wine — Group Bid Adventure Auction Lots, DJ music and dancing.

All nine of the Adventure Auction Lots are sponsored by a Russian River Valley Winegrower member and the money for each lot will go to raise funds for educational programs and future events.

There are many reasons why Single Night will be epic, but these Adventure Lots is one part of the night that we are most excited about. We guarantee, these Adventure Lots will be the most fun you will ever have at an auction.

Learn more from our instructional (and comedic!) video on how to GROUP BID:


We all think our Adventure Lots Videos are the best, so we are asking you, our awesome Facebook Fans, to vote for your favorite one!  Please visit our video tab on the Next Generation Wine Facebook Page and click LIKE on your favorite Adventure Lot video.

The video with the most 'likes' will win.

      *Though you do have to be a fan to ‘like’ a video!

To make this even more fun, we will be giving away one round-trip ticket for a future trip from Horizon/Alaska Air AND a ticket to Single Night to one random Facebook fan who participates!

Winners will be announced next week, so make sure to vote right away!! Thanks!

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:34:00 -0700 @NextGenWine's first video featuring Chuck, winemaker @ Hop Kiln Winery. http://shanaray.posterous.com/nextgenwines-first-video-featuring-chuck-wine http://shanaray.posterous.com/nextgenwines-first-video-featuring-chuck-wine

I have been working with the Russian River Valley Winegrowers on their upcoming Single Night Event.  One of my favorite things about this event is the Adventure Auction Lots...  The idea for these is to get together with a group and pull together your money together to bid on these Adventures in Russian River Valley. Each lot is personally hosted by the vintners and growers, are designed for 6 to 10 people with just 11 lots available.

For more information or to purchase tickets to Single Night (where the auction will be held), please visit http://www.facebook.com/NextGenerationWine. Our first video features me in the beginning and is all about trekking with Russian River Valley's Indiana Jones.

Join Winemaker, Chuck Mansfield (I would also like to add adorable) at historic Hop Kiln Winery for a Russian River Valley Jeep Excursion. Starting on the banks of the Russian River, Chuck will lead a tour of the winery ranch in two open-air, 1950s jeeps. The tour culminates at the ranch's high peak overlooking the entire Russian River Valley.  Back at the 105 year old Hop Kiln building and winery, Chuck will lead you through a barrel tasting and a tasting of his Vineyard Designate Pinot Noirs and host a hearty lunch.
