Haven't you ever wanted to drink a winemaker's private stash? Now you can, by joining the Private Reserve 2009 Wine, Sun & Rock Caribbean cruise on Regent Seven Seas Cruises. This 12-day cruise will depart from Ft. Lauderdale on Regent's 490-passenger cruise ship Navigator and will explore some of the lesser-known islands of the Caribbean: Aruba, Curacao, St. Lucia, Dominica, St. Croix, Turks and Caicos and Puerto Rico.
Besides the gourmet meals, nightlife and spa-living normally found on a Regent cruise, guests will enjoy drinking the stash from each of the winemaker's personal cellars, an opportunity to sample a variety of age-worthy wines from large format bottles, two winemaker dinners, casual wine-chats, and the 60s rock and roll band Private Reserve.
Private Reserve is composed of three of Napa and Sonomas top-winemakers: Ed Sbragia, Emeritus winemaker for Beringer Winery, who also has his own label Sbragia Family Vineyards in Geyserville; Mike Martini, Master Winemaker of Louis M. Martini in St. Helena and for his own label M Squared; and George Bursick, winemaker with J Wines in Healdsburg.
During the cruise, guests will:
* Meet and taste with George Bursick, Bob Janis, Mike Martini and Ed Sbragia, and sample wines from their wineries including J, Villa Toscano, Brutacao, Louis Martini, M Squared, Beringer Vineyards, Sbragia Family Winery and more.
* Explore wines from many famous Northern California appellations: Napa Valley, Howell Mountain, Dry Creek and Russian River Valleys, Sonoma County, and more.
* Sample a broad range of varietals ranging from classic Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to exotic Cal/Italia Tuscan red blends, from classic Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to lively Pinot Grigio.
* Experience the power of aging wines gracefully as you taste current vintages and compare them with beautifully cellared library wines of famous vintages.
* Learn about the power of magnums and large format bottles and their aging secrets.
Prices for the Private Reserve 2009 Wine, Sun & Rock Caribbean cruise begin at $4,695 per person for a deluxe balcony-suite cabin, plus airfare, government taxes and port fees. Customers who book by October 31 will earn a $250 onboard cabin credit. Visit
