Foggy Bridge debuts at Outside Lands Music Festival

August 24, 2008

Our very first wines were poured this weekend at the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival and boy, has it been fun! Holly and I have been working on organizing our role as the official wine sponsor for the event since April and it has all been worth it! We have the Foggy Bridge Canteen set up next to the Winehaven tent and concertgoers can sit outside at picnic tables sipping our wines and nibbling on oysters from Hog Island and charcuterie from Fatted Calf. We poured our Classic Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, Tradewinds Shiraz, Yorkville Highlands blend and Muscat. The event concessionaire, a very nice guy, was afraid to buy too much wine because he didn’t think people would pay to drink high-end wines at a rock concert and we proved him wrong. Many of the wines are already sold out and we still have another day to go. Way to go San Francisco! You have proven to the world that we love good wine here and all your comments and enthusiasm for our wines has been music to our ears (pun intended). The best part has been having Daryl Groom, our winemaker, and Holly and I out there meeting you all, talking about the wines, the project and seeing how excited San Franciscans are to have a winery of their own. Thanks everybody – I’ve got to run to get back out there for the last day – see you in the Canteen! More comments and photos to come tomorrow . . .
