  • What is the Golden Nose Award? ~
    The Finger Lakes Region has long been a producer of award-winning wines. Both domestically and overseas, dozens of wineries win prestigious awards every single year. However it has been over twenty years since a competition has been held specifically between Finger Lakes wineries only. But rather than bringing in a batch of professional tasters to adjudicate which wines are best, we are opting to invite you, the consumers, to judge. After all, what percentage of bottles of wine are sold to wine professionals? Very few. At the end of the day, it is your senses, your palates, and your noses that our wine must please. Thus the Golden Nose Award has been created.

    While the spring/summer outdoor heat is still bearable we want to bring you another trademarked high-energy wine tasting/pool party. On Friday, May 18th starting at 7pm, the expansive lower Flamingo Pool will host the Rock 'n Roll Wine Reggae Pool Party featuring over 40 wines and, straight from Kingston, Jamaica, the authentic live Reggae sounds of Michael Black and Jah Guide Band. Check out the sounds at www.myspace.com/jahguideband . This is going to be an unbelievable night! For those that came to our pool parties at the Flamingo last year we're moving the party downstairs where we'll have more room to spread out relax and sip on delicious hand-picked vino. We were bombarded with positive comments on how good the wines were last event and we promise this time will be no different!

    You can pre-pay by RSVP'ng at the link below or calling Rock 'n Roll Wine office at 702-240-3066 between the hours of 9am and 5pm and ask for Kate Fullen. Or you can email rsvp@rocknrollwine.com and someone will call you to take your ticket order over the phone - If after 5pm you can call Kate on her mobile at 702-372-1799.
