The First 19th Hole Wine Club Party



We had a great opening event for Kris Moe Wines in San Francisco's Harding Park GC. Forty players played in the event where rare sunny and warm temperatures made the day even more special.

I did my best to create an environment that the players would remember, I paired the Petite Sirah with a veal shank smothered in a rich mushroom sauce and another dish of rib-eye steaks. Echo Beach Band played some cool jazz in the background.

The next event looks like the Friday of the US Open in early June. We're going to do our best to get a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay along side our Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc. I'm thinking about an event in San Jose at Cinnabar Hills or maybe even Pasatiempo in Santa Cruz. Anybody want to weigh in for a vote?

19th Hole Wine Club Uncorked

This blog is for wine and golf lovers. That's what I love and I'm creating a community where we can share our stories, places to golf and new great wines.

Many of you don't know me, I'm Kris Moe, a wine lover who happen to make a living in the golf industry. I've been a PGA tour player in the US and Europe and I run my golf schools in the wine country and Hawaii. Wine became a larger part of my life when I retired from tournament golf and settled into raising a family in Sonoma, California. I started making wine as a hobby in 1995 and appreciate the entire process from picking grapes from the vine to sharing the finished wine with friends.

The first of the Nineteeth Hole wines is being released in early April at a golf event at Harding Park in San Francisco. The first wines will be a tasty Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc from the Russian River Valley.


I hope you'll join in to share some of your thoughts on either golf or wine.
