Weekend: Saturday June 13 & Sunday June 14
Two decades after their start with a few barrels of wine in a garage, August Briggs Winery is celebrating their 20th year of operation. This employee turned owner winery is best known for the
last 20 years of its limited production wines sourced from Napa and Sonoma’s top vineyards. In celebration of this milestone, co-owners, Colette Milliman and Matthew Gacso, will welcome
visitors to their downtown location with festivities that span the weekend of June 13 & 14, 2015. For the event they will:
- Make available rare Library Wines to taste and purchase
- Discounted pricing on select wines
- Special Release of their first ever Meritage
- Serve a variety of delicious treats from local food trucks, Phat Wraps & Salads & Crossroads Chicken, to enjoy and complement the wines
- Offer barrel tasting for a fee or complimentary with any wine purchase
- A representative from Guide Dogs for the Blind to answer questions and receive donations
“Matt and I are very proud of this accomplishment and grateful to our customers who helped us get here,” said Milliman who has been an employee/owner since 2002. “We very much look forward to the next 20 years and continuing to produce wines that our customers enjoy.”
A percentage of the weekends’ proceeds will be donated to the Guide Dogs for the Blind.
