LAKEPORT – Thirty-five people correctly guessed Wildhurst Sauvignon Blanc during the blind tasting at last August’s Taste of Lakeport.

Among them, Becky Jeffries, Joy Merriley and Rick Todd were randomly selected as prize winners, each receiving a bottle of the wine they so expertly identified.

The blind tasting was a new event at this year’s Taste of Lakeport and more than 150 people participated.

Due to its popularity, the blind tasting booth will be back again at next year’s taste scheduled for Aug. 17, 2012.

This event is sponsored by the Lakeport Main Street Association, a group of merchants, property owners and involved citizens who are working to build a better downtown Lakeport.
