It’s our annual August trek to San Francisco to participate with the Family Winemakers trade tasting – and lucky us to have a table by the window.  The views of Alcatraz were spectacular on a very warm, sunny and brilliant day.

We hosted big crowds who came to meet and taste 300 wineries showcasing 1,000 different wines representing 30 different California Appellations.  If you wanted a comprehensive tasting of California wines – Ft. Mason was the place to be Sunday and Monday.

Our newest member of the sales team, Andrea Roselli – who serves as the area manager for the South Bay – cut her teeth at the wine show with literally thousands of tasters all clamoring for a tasting of LangeTwins.

The best part of tasting wines off-site is meeting up with friends and family – here’s proof that Clayton Worfolk and his group are appreciative fans of Lodi wines!

Next show? Wine Women and Shoes in Monterey.  Follow us there!

We’re bringing the festivities to the winery for the next Wine Club Pick Up Party!

We’ll be in the middle of crush so it’s an exciting time to be here.  There’s even a chance to see the winery’s harvest action firsthand on a crushpad tour.

Spend your Labor Day Saturday tasting our Wine Club Exclusive 2008 Single Barrel Malbec and pairing it with pizzas from local and family-owned Guantonio’s.  The Guantone family works wonders with their mobile wood-fired oven to craft handmade pizzas and other authentic Italian bites from the freshest ingredients.

Bring your family and friends (kids too!) to play games on our lawn (grape stomp anyone?) and sample delicious wines paired with yummy gourmet fare.

The weekend was such a blur!

I couldn’t imagine Union Square ‘tented’, but indeed the organizers of SF Chefs 2010 had it under cover.  And what an event!

LangeTwins participated in the “Fork It Over” fundraiser on Saturday night – fabulous restaurants to pair great food with our wines.  We poured the Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and our icon Midnight  Reserve to great reviews.

Music was by David Martin’s “House Party” – if you get a chance to hear them, don’t miss!  When was the last time you saw go-go dancers on the stage?

Sunday’s Grand Tasting was an oasis of delights and education featuring notable chefs and vintners.   The Lodi Appellation was center front in the action and LangeTwins was part of the local team pouring to a great crowd. 

Lodi had a unique connection to the event – the Treasure Island giveaway tickets were won by Miles Sperling’s daughter who actually lives in Oakland.  And to those folks who have a bit of history with Lodi, you’ll remember Sperling was once Chief of Police for liveable, loveable Lodi.

Next big show in the Bay Area is Treasure Island: 10-10-10. We think that’s a lucky day!
