The Jamie Clark Trio is extactic to be back at Hop Kiln Vineyards for the Battle Of The Grill which many Wineries on the Santa Rosa Wine Road are participating.  We'll be doing 2-3 sets throughout the day!  Going to be a blast. Great Hop Kiln Wine, BBQ and Jamie Clark Music to Pair with. Go to http://www.battleofthegrill.com/ for more info.  We'll see you there!

The 1st Annual Battle of the Grill competition will kick off on Saturday, July 20, 2013 from 11am to 4pm. Six participating wineries: Alderbrook Winery, Mill Creek Vineyards and Winery, VML Winery, HKG Estate Wines - Hop Kiln Vineyards, Thomas George Estates and Gary Farrell Winery. Each winery will be teaming up with a local chef or caterer to create a one-of-a-kind food and wine pairing. The only criterion is that a grill must be used in creating the food pairing. Event goers will travel from winery to winery as they “Wander the Westside” sampling each pairing to decide which one they perceive as the overall winner. NO tickets will be sold at the door. Ticket sales end Wednesday, July 17th, 2013. Music By The Jamie Clark Trio.

Each attendee will be assigned a starting winery location where they will check-in to receive their wine glasses and additional information that will be pertinent for the day of the event. Information containing your starting location will be emailed to each attendee. Attendees will be able to text to vote and live results will be posted at the end of the day. The winning winery and chef will each get to host the “Battle of the Grill Trophy” in their place of business until the next battle commences. One lucky voter will win a swag bag with logo gear and more from the WRWA participating wineries.
