Wine Tasting Details:
2009 Chardonnay, Central Coast

Central Coast Chardonnay displays aromas of peach, green apples and tropical nuances. On the entry, the wine is soft with green apple, white peach and pineapple notes. The mid-palate displays subtle oak nuances which evolve into a hint of minerality and continue into a lingering clean finish.

2009 Pinot Noir, Carneros

Carneros Pinot Noir is medium-bodied with cherry, strawberry and plum; surrounded by light toast flavors. On entry, the wine displays blue fruit characters that are balanced with spicy and earthy notes that frame the mid-palate. The vanilla and toast integrates well with the silky round tannins on the lengthy finish.

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is ruby in color and displays aromas of raspberry, cassis and cigar box. Once in your mouth, the wine's silky raspberry fruit flavors and the combination of oak and tannin nuances create a well balanced, rich and full bodied wine that draws you in for more.

Auburn Ale House: Specialty microbrewed beer

Budweiser Specials from Nor-Cal Beverage

Live Music:Volkl/Marker Athlete and Black Sunshine front man, Matt Reardon along with Black Sunshine's Drew Campell
