a single night in the russian river valley.
This year I was asked to be a part of the Russian River Valley Winegrowers Millennial Council. Along with several other wine industry people who work at wineries in the Russian River Valley, we are a committee of young adults who have the task of helping transition the Russian River Valley into the next generation of wine — Wine buyers, winemakers, winery owners, etc.
Our first task was to throw a party….
Not just any party, but an event that showcases what makes the Russian River Valley stand out among most other wine regions – The focus on single vineyard wines. Thus Single Night was born. I will go into more detail later, but Single Night will be a night where other young wine lovers can go and be educated on where there favorite wine comes from. In addition, there will be some amazing food, music and other special promotions that I cannot discuss at this moment. My favorite part about this whole event (other than the fact that I get the honor to help out with promotions) is that there will be 8 different “Adventure Lots” - Auction lots that are much different than any of the boring ones I have heard about or been to in the past. These Adventure Lots are made for groups of people, thus would have to be bidded on by a group of friends.
I am not sure about you, but I KNOW my group of friends would love to go wine tasting and get to go on a specialized hot air balloon ride with one of my favorite winemakers….
