A private wine seminar for 10 people with Craig Dean, Wine Director of The Wine Exchange (Best of the Bay for Best Place to Get Lost in Wine). The winner will work with Craig to outline the tasting — if he or she is new to wine, Craig will provide a great way to learn about styles. If the winner knows wine and wants a challenge, Craig will hold a vertical or terroir tasting. The seminar includes 4 to 5 wines (based on the winner’s level of experience) and light appetizers. Plus, Majestic Fine Wines (La Crema) is offering this Majestic bonus: 1 3L bottle of its Carmel Road wine and 2 1.5L bottles of Cambria Pinot Noir.

Estimated value: $750
