Ladies and Gentlemen We Have Our Winners!
Thursday, April 14th and Thursday April 23rd 2016 Cheers hosted our two annual spring wine tasting events. They were very fun evenings with six vendors on hand, each with six wines available to sample. You can see the wines we tasted here. As always, the event was well attended and a good time was had by all. A few lucky raffle winners left with some fabulous prizes. Once again we asked our guests to vote on their favorite white and red wines. As promised, we put all ballots into a bag, shook 'em up and selected our random winners. The winners receive one bottle each of the best in show wines. Our winners have been contacted, and (as of this posting) will pick up their wines soon. Thank you all for enjoying the evenings with us. Thank you also for participating in the best of show voting.
The winning wines were “hands down” with overwhelming vote counts.
Here they are, your Best In Show!

Wente “Morning Fog” Chardonnay
