Becker Vineyards, always tops on my list, won 5 medals at the San Francisco International Wine Festival last week.

Their ’08 Viognier and ’08 Syrah each won silver. Their ’07 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon – Canada Vineyard took a bronze as did their ’07 Claret and ’08 Sauvignon Blanc.

If you haven’t seen their new tasting room, it’s time for another visit! It’s beautiful.

BTW, Becker’s Annual Chili Cookoff is this weekend. I’ve got more Becker info on my Web site in the “Vino” section at www.goodtastewithtanji.com

Congratulations!
