The San Francisco Chronicle extends the
invitation for your winery to enter the 2008 San
Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
Produced by winejudging.com and hosted by the
Cloverdale Citrus Fair to benefit Santa Rosa Junior
College Wine Studies and Culinary Programs, the San
Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Tasting is the
Bay Area’s “gateway” wine event and will be held
Saturday, February 16, 2008 at Fort Mason Center,
San
Francisco. The Marriott Fisherman’s Wharf Hotel, the
Official Hotel of the San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition, will have special public tasting winery
rates.
On Friday, February 8, 2008 the San Francisco
Chronicle will again publish a special wine section
featuring the award winning wines for the paper’s
1,228,100 daily readers. Last year, the special
section featured twenty-four pages of medal winning
wines, sweepstakes winemakers’ stories, and feature
articles about the wine country throughout the
United States. Participating wineries are encouraged
to place their advertising message in this very
popular, wine-focused, special section. The
Chronicle is again extending promotional advertising
rates for this issue. Contact Sue Merceri, Account
Executive of the San Francisco Chronicle at (415)
777-8787 or
smerceri@sfchronicle.com for special winery
advertising rates.
In addition, we are planning publicity for award
winning wines with our radio sponsor: KGO-AM
810; TV sponsor: NBC; and other major newspaper,
magazine, and media markets. Thank you for
participating and I wish your winery good luck!
Sincerely,
Bob Fraser
Executive Director
San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
