The San Francisco Fort Mason Festival Pavilion had a
capacity filled crowd on Saturday, February 24 for the
seventh annual San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
Public Tasting. “All the tickets sold out before the
event and there were not any tickets available during
the day of the event”, reports Bob Fraser. “The public
tasting was a tremendous success. The award winning
wines, food from artisan producers, Smart & Final
Culinary Stage Demonstrations, Maverick Tasting, sponsor
booth presentations, and all the other elements of the
public tasting was marvelous! A great time for all!

Background:
Founded in 1983 as the Cloverdale Citrus Fair Wine
Competition, the San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition has evolved through the years,
broadening its base to an ever expanding number of wine
regions. Beginning in 2000 the event was renamed the San
Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and a public
tasting of the medal winning wines began taking place in
San Francisco.
Today the San Francisco Wine Competition includes wines from
throughout the United States and has become the world’s
largest competition of American wines and the public tasting
is one of the premier consumer wine and food tastings.
