Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:01:00 -0700 @dargenziowinery + @levisgranfondo = wine tasting for charity! http://shanaray.posterous.com/dargenziowinery-levisgranfondo-wine-tasting-f-0 http://shanaray.posterous.com/dargenziowinery-levisgranfondo-wine-tasting-f-0

The Official Levi Leipheimer King Ridge GranFondo 2007 Pinot Noir Tasting is happening while I am in New York next week.  I am sad that I will be missing out, but you don’t have to!  D’Argenzio Winery in Santa Rosa is holding special tastings for travelers, locals and cycling fanatics from Wednesday October 6th to the 13th between 11a to 5p daily.  

The GranFondo has many events throughout the weekend of the 9th, but make sure to visit D’Argenzio Winery between the cycle rides, the RadioShack downtown Passport event or the GranFondo festival.  The tasting will start early for those who are arriving to the area before the main festivities or those who stay later after the weekend.  

A portion of the proceeds is donated to Forget me Not Farm, a non-profit that has helped thousands of at-risk children and youth break the cycle of abuse, as well as other GranFondo Charities, including LiveStrong.

This exclusive one time only tasting is at D'Argenzio Winery at 1301 Cleveland Ave, just north of downtown Santa Rosa.
