LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Winery Association seeks volunteers and sponsors for the 2013 Lake County Wine Awards Competition held at Brassfield Estate Winery and The People’s Choice Award held this year on Aug. 31 at the Lake County Fair.
Volunteers assist with the organization and execution of the professional wine judging, alongside the esteemed panel of judges, Director Ray Johnson and the Lake County Winery Association chairpersons July 8-12 at Brassfield Estate Winery in Clearlake Oaks.
Volunteers are critical contributors, supporting the Lake County Winery Association’s goals of developing awareness and recognition of Lake County as a preeminent winegrowing and tourism destination – as they strive to make this the most successful and publicized awards competition to date.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – When Derek Holstein, winemaker since 2005 for Cache Creek Vineyards, was notified that his 2011 Reserve Chardonnay and 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon had again won gold medals, he was still enjoying the news of the gold medal he won just last week from the Press Democrat North Coast Wine Challenge, also for the 2011 Reserve Chardonnay.
“It is such a privilege to be in a position to support the beautiful vineyards of Cache Creek Vineyards and the Van Pelt family in their desire to produce world class wines from a fairly new growing area with tremendous potential,” said Holstein.
The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon received a Double Gold earlier this year from the American Fine Wines Competition which was held in Florida.
Cache Creek Vineyards is a small, family-owned, sustainably farmed vineyard in Lake County. Production is small with a total of 1,400 cases of four varietals being produced this year.
“Our limited production allows Derek to give more hands-on attention to each varietal. That attention starts in the vineyard and continues through the wine making process. We are committed to growing exceptional grapes and proud to present wines exhibiting creativity and longevity,” said Linda Glover, spokesperson for Cache Creek Vineyards.
Wines can be purchased online at www.cachecreekvineyards.com , call 707-272-8466 for phone orders or visit Lake County Wine Studio, 9505 Main St., Upper Lake.
