WINDSOR, CA (March 15, 2023) – Cal Tri Events announced today that Kendall-Jackson winery will be both the official wine partner for the 2023 Cal Tri Events Series, the largest national short-course triathlon series in the U.S., and title sponsor at the 2023 Kendall-Jackson Cal Tri Sonoma – 6.25.23 event.
“We’re excited to partner with the Cal Tri Events team on this year’s triathlons. Collaborating with Cal Tri is a perfect way to reach the athletic community who are pursuing a healthy, active lifestyle, especially as we’ve just launched our Kendall-Jackson Low Calorie Chardonnay,” says Maggie Curry, Kendall-Jackson’s VP of Marketing. “The bright and balanced Low Calorie Chardonnay, at just 85 calories per serving, provides calorie-conscious consumers with an alternative wine offering that still delivers the Kendall-Jackson full-bodied, round and vibrant taste profile consumers have come to know and love.”
“Kendall-Jackson, producer of America’s #1-selling Chardonnay for 30 years, is one of the few remaining family-owned wineries in the nation. We welcome Kendall-Jackson winery to the Cal Tri Events family. From pre-race sampling, awards presentations, and post race pouring at select races, their presence will be felt in 2023,” said Thom Richmond, CEO Cal Tri Events.
While Kendall-Jackson is the official wine sponsor for the 2023 Cal-Tri Event Series, they are also the title sponsor for the 2023 Kendall-Jackson Cal Tri Sonoma – 6.25.23 event, as the race takes place near Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens, Sonoma County’s hub of culinary and garden excellence. The expansive 4-acre awe-inspiring culinary gardens provide visitors a picturesque food and wine experience. “We wish everyone a great race and look forward to welcoming race participants, friends, and family for a glass of wine during the race weekend,” said Curry. Kendall-Jackson is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and offers a variety of food and wine pairing experiences.
