Saturday, August 22, 2009 12 Noon – 4 PM
Come discover New Zealand wines at “New Zealand’s Wine by the Bay”. KGO radio’s Gene Burns will be broadcasting his “Dining Around” show, LIVE from the event. Delight in over 200 wines from 40+ wineries while sampling delicacies from some of San Francisco’s most wonderful restaurants. All proceeds benefit the San Francisco Food Bank and the Doug Wisor scholarship.
http://www.winebythebay.com/The late Doug Wisor was an American who was winemaker at Craggy Range in Hawkes Bay when he tragically died in a kite surfing accident. The scholarship was created in his memory to bring a young American winemaker to New Zealand annually to intern for a vintage. For any aspiring winemakers out there, the application information and other information about the scholarship can be found at
