Dear Vintner Members...

We are excited to begin planning for The Vintner Cup and the All Vintner Pour to be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015 and we look forward to your wholehearted support. The Vintner Program at Mayacama is one of the founding cornerstones of this fine Club; therefore, we are asking for your personal participation.

Each Vintner Member is requested to participate in all the festivities. If you are unavailable to attend the "Draw Party", play in the tournament, or unable to pour wine at the All Vintner Pour, we request that your winemaker, cellar master, or a knowledgeable executive of your team is sent as a representative in your absence.

The Vintner Cup will begin on Friday, May 15th with an informal practice round. In the evening we will host our "Draw Party" where the teams will be announced and the Vintners will be seated with their team during dinner. The "Draw Party" establishes a sense of camaraderie and competition for The Vintner Cup on the following day.

TEAMS
Each team will consist of four persons; one Mayacama Vintner Member and three Mayacama Members. In order to maintain the integrity of the "Draw", requests for Vintner pairings with specific Members or groups cannot be accommodated. The draw will be conducted on a totally "blind" basis, which is the spirit in which this tournament was founded. We thank you for your cooperation and support.
