This year the festival reported a record of attendance and sales at the retail wine tent. The weather was absolutely gorgeous; and the Culinary Pavilion featured ”Food Treasures of Spain” that included the traditional Manchego cheese, chorizo and Jamon Serrano.
I was thrilled to have been invited to the Wine Festival Media Brunch at the Azalea Terrace of the Sandestin Resort. It was a four course brunch sponsored by Chan’s Wine World and Beaches of South Walton, where Chefs Roy Khoo, Crystal Castillo, Alan Baltazar, Tim Creehan and Jascha Becker offered different delicious dishes. We were also lucky to have the well-known Californian vintner, Mr. Marc Mondavi from Charles Krug Winery, as the special guest and he was so generous to share with us many stories about the art of making wine.
Also this year the “Best of Show Red” wine was Bodegas Caro 2007 from Southern Hemisphere and the “Best of Show White” was the Rombauer 2009 Chardonnay from Napa Valley.
I want to thank again to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort’s team for their excellent job as host of this fantastic wine event.
Cheers for the Sandestin Wine Festival again!

How did you find out about this event?
The Media Brunch was spectacular! I wholeheartedly agree. I have amazing photos of each dish we were served - but I love your photo of the wine bottle with Marc Mondavi in the background! It was great meeting you, I hope to drink wine with you again soon. Come to South Florida!
