34th annual Barrel Tasting Wine Road - Northern Sonoma County
Two Weekends - March 2-4 and March 9-11, 2012
11:00 am - 4:00 pm each day

Members of the Wine Road would like to welcome you to our wineries and lodgings for an exciting weekend of wine tasting. This is your chance to sample wines from the barrel, talk to winemakers and explore the beautiful Alexander, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys.

Barrel Tasting is not a food or themed event. It's all about the WINE...many wineries offer "futures" on their barrel samples. This is a chance to purchase wine now, often at a discount, then come back to the winery when the wine is bottled, typically 12-18 months from now. Many wines are so limited, buying futures is your only chance to purchase them.

Stay tuned for more information on what Martin Ray Winery will have in store for this event! Please visit www.wineroad.com for the following information: ticket prices, to buy tickets on-line, maps and to download a program of all the participating wineries for the event weekend.
