Riesling Gets its Own Event - Riesling Rendezvous July 27-29

Chateau Ste. Michelle's commitment to Riesling led it to host the
largest trade event dedicated to Riesling in the United States, called
"Riesling Rendezvous," in June 2007. Co-hosted by Dr. Loosen, the
highly acclaimed German Riesling estate and partner with Ste. Michelle
on Eroica Riesling, the event is designed to bring together leading
Riesling experts and producers to explore the versatility of Rieslings
from around the world. The event was so successful, Chateau Ste.
Michelle & Dr. Loosen will host the second Riesling Rendezvous July
27-29, 2008, at Chateau Ste. Michelle winery in Woodinville,
Washington, which will feature a grand consumer tasting, blind panel
tastings and interactive breakout sessions.

"The success of last year's program, combined with global interest
in Riesling, encouraged us to hold the event again," says Baseler. "It
is an honor to have winemakers from Europe, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada, Michigan, Washington, Oregon, California and New York come to
Seattle to celebrate Riesling. This year's program will allow Riesling
experts, winemakers, journalists, trade and devoted Riesling fans to
explore all aspects of Riesling."

Riesling Rendezvous kicks off with a grand consumer tasting on the
grounds of Chateau Ste. Michelle in Woodinville, Wash., on Sunday,
July 27th, from 5-8 p.m., featuring 70 wineries from around the world.
July 28th is dedicated to blind tastings guided by distinguished
producers to explore Riesling styles, from powerful dry wines of
Austria, Alsace and Australia to the elegant German variations and
flavorful, spicy interpretations from North America. July 29th
features breakout sessions on compelling Riesling issues, including:
Ageability of Riesling, Riesling at the Table, Decoding Riesling for
the U.S. Market, Producers Only Roundtable, Discovering New World
Riesling Terroir and Digging into Old World Riesling Terroir.

To purchase tickets for the Riesling Rendezvous Grand Tasting on
July 27, go to www.ste-michelle.com/riesling. Tickets for the Grand
