Captain’s Walk Merlot Poured in Long Beach

Downtown Green Bay’s Captain’s Walk Winery Merlot was one of 40 wines to receive the “Chairman’s Best of Class” award in
the Long Beach Grand Cru Wine Competition and has been invited to participate in an exclusive wine tasting this weekend.

The Long Beach Grand Cru is considered one of the top international wine competitions in the U.S. The competition judges
are recruited from a pool of winemakers, restaurateurs, wine store representatives, noted wine writers, educators and
recognized wine connoisseurs. The competition’s chief judge, Dan Berger, is a wine columnist and contributor to Gourmet
Magazine.

The judging of all entries at the Long Beach Petroleum Club occurred on July 19 & 20, 2008. On August 16, 2008, there will be
a public display and tasting of all medal-winning wines at the Rainbow Lagoon Park in Downtown Long Beach, California. The
major public tasting event attracts more than 1,400 wine and food aficionados every August. This year, 447 wineries from 23
states and 12 countries submitted 1,947 entries.
Tasters Guild International Wine Judging Winners Announced
Captain’s Walk Winery Receives Five Gold Medals!

Great accolades have gravitated to Captain’s Walk Winery in downtown Green Bay! This
local winery recently added 5 more gold medals to its double gold, 8 gold, and over 40
silver and bronze medals currently displayed on the winery’s tasting room mantle!
Manager PJ Koeher puts it this way, “We are always ecstatic to receive golds and double
golds, but we are more excited about the no-snob approach that we bring to these
wonderful wines on a daily basis with our customers!”
Five blue ribbons with gold medallions are wrapped around the new vintages of Captain’s
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese, Chardonnay, and Gewurztraminer. “Medallions
never get old”, says PJ, “We have 150 year-old plaster ones on the ceilings, and brand
new gold ones on the bottles!”.
Five other wines took home Tasters Guild medals including a rosé named Maiden
Voyage, which is produced from grapes grown in three different local vineyards from Door
County to Scray’s Hill. The unique ship bottle, that surrounds the second edition of Maiden
Voyage, commemorates Green Bay and the Valley’s waterways, which were likely the
route for some of the area’s first vines back in the 1800’s.
Tasters Guild International is a Wine and Food Appreciation Society based in Grand
Rapids, Michigan with administrative offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Washington D.
C. Its 22ndAnnual International Wine Judging was held at the Secchia Institute for Culinary
