Passport to Dry Creek 2012 #dcvpassport

Passport to Dry Creek Valley 2012 is just over a month away. This is our third trip to the event. There will be 13 of us participating this year. Read about our previous Passport trips.

There are 50 wineries participating in this year’s 2-day event. We average 6 wineries per day.We use a rank based voting method to determine which wineries we will visit. The first year, 3 of 12 participants voted; this year, we had 100% (13 of 13) participation in winery selection. Wineries were selected based on total (ranked) points earned.

Here are some other interesting statistics:

• Of the 50 wineries, 39 received at least one vote (78%).
• Of the 14 wineries selected, 6 are wineries we’ve never visited during Passport.
• 4 wineries had higher “average” scores but not enough total points to make the cut.

So here it is…our 2012 Passport to Dry Creek wineries:

• Mill Creek (starting winery)
• Lambert Bridge
• Seghesio
• Ferrari-Carano
• Quivira
• Dry Creek
• Rafanelli
• Ridge
• Frick
