Coni Chavez, executive assistant to the president of Columbia said this spring’s Wine Tasting Benefit will be hosted by the Columbia College Foundation. The “premiere” tasting benefit will feature more than 70 wineries, with “hors d'oeuvres prepared by culinary students” and local food purveyors. Beccie Michael, director of development at Columbia said Friday that so far, 3 Amador County wineries have agreed to participate. They are Sobon Family Wines, Shenandoah Vineyards, and Vino Noceto. Michael said the college has “invited several others and hope to hear from them soon.” The college updates its website almost daily as wineries respond. Last year’s Amador wineries included Noceto, Sobon, Shenandoah Vineyards, Amador Foothill, Estate, Terre Rouge, Montevina and Karly. Chavez said the college’s “growing culinary program prepares students for careers in various hospitality management-related positions,” and is accredited by the prestigious American Culinary Federation. It’s graduates can be found in successful careers throughout the culinary world. This year’s tasting is 1-4 p.m. Sunday, April 18 at Columbia State Historic Park.
