Ok so Dry Creek is a region, but I wanted to be sure that everyone knew about passport. Technically, it’s also a wine, so I’ll also tell you about Dry Lands Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.
First, the Passport to Dry Creek 
is coming up in April. 46 wineries open their doors wide, and showcase their best wines and hospitality. Passport is a unique event, since there are limited ticket sales, and all of the wineries have amazing themes, food, and wines to share. There will be themes galore including Alice in Wonderland, Western, Mardi Gras, Circus, and Belly Dancing. Most wineries feature live entertainment!
Tickets for the weekend are $120, and Sunday only tickets are $70. While it seems spendy, the exclusivity of the event coupled with the small wineries that are open just fro the event make for an amazing weekend. I went last year, and was delighted by the event. this is a great alternative to the larger Wine Road events, as it is more limited and there are fewer crowds. I hope I’ll see you there!
Next up is the 2009 Drylands Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. We are having a touch of false spring here in the Bay Area, and it’s nice to have a crisp white to put me in the mood. The wine smells of gooseberries and 7-up, and has ripe citrus flavors, and lime zest. There is a touch of New Zealand grassiness, but it is very subtle. I am really enjoying this wine, and at $16-19, it’s a great priced summer sipper. I hope you go out and enjoy this as well! STRONG BUY
I love Dry Creek, and I would pay any amount of money to enjoy my time there. The wine however, was graciously provided by my friends at Benson Marketing. Thanks!
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance. I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this. Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Firefox. Outstanding Blog!
