PASO ROBLES, CA-The 2007 Paso Robles Zinfandel
Festival, presented by the Paso Robles
Wine Country Alliance, is slated for the
evening of Saturday, March 17, 2007. The
festive, Mardi Gras themed event held
at the Paso Robles Event Center will include
live and silent auctions, as well as a
grand tasting of Zinfandel wines from
more than 40 wineries in the Paso Robles,
California appellation. Each year Paso
Robles Wine Country hosts its annual Zinfandel
Festival for enthusiasts from around the
nation, surrounded by three days of festivities
at the wineries, March 16, 17 and 18.
2007 marks the 15th anniversary of the
Paso Robles Zinfandel Festival.
"This
is the second largest Zinfandel tasting
in the country and as the region's heritage
variety, it's no wonder so many Paso Robles
wine enthusiasts look forward to it each
year," said Paso Robles Wine Country
Alliance Executive Director Stacie Jacob.
"There will be great lifestyle and
wine auction lots up for bid and more
than 40 wineries will be pouring their
Zinfandels-it should be an exciting evening."
Tickets
are available now on the Wine Country
Alliance's Web site, pasowine.com. Zin
lovers may choose from two ticket prices
- $85 per person for the Live Wine Country
Auction featuring a special commemorative
Zin blend tasting and Grand Tasting or
$50 per person for the Grand Tasting.
With a limited supply, this event is sure
to sell out quickly. In 2006, nearly 1,000
wine enthusiasts from around the country
attended the event.
"We
expect this event to sell out, as we're
limiting the number of tickets to enhance
attendees' experience during the festival,"
said Jacob. "We encourage those interested
in coming out for this celebration to
buy their tickets early to ensure they
have a space at the 15th anniversary Zinfandel
Festival."
