Attention Amateur Winemakers!
There just can’t be any stiffer competition among Zinfandels, worldwide, than that presented to our Taste Off competitors as they battle for what has been coined the coveted “Golden Bung Awards”. Only Non-Commercial, Dry Creek Valley Zins (75% or better) were included. Drinking-age picnic attendees were allowed to purchase flights that include two voting chips. Chips were then placed in jars corresponding to the voters’ favorite picks. At the close of tasting the chips were counted resulting in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes as well as the Best of Show.
Congratulations to the 2008 winners:
1st Prize, Pat Taylor-2007
2nd Prize, Paul Micallef-2006
3rd Prize, Craig Messick-2005
Best of Show, Fred Corson-2005

The DCVA annual potluck and membership meeting was held Sunday, March 30, 2008. Members shared a meal and renewed friendships at Healdsburg Villa Chanticleer. Following Board elections and a vote to insure our articles of incorporation meet IRS requirements for a 501 (3)(c) status, former President and new head of the Clean Water Coalition, Fred Corson, told the crowd about two Sonoma County Water Association projects that could seriously disrupt Dry Creek itself, ground water, and our wells. For more information about what the DCVA Board is recommending to address these serious issues click on Association and Funding & Support.
