The Judges' Pick The photo that encompasses the MOST '728' spirit...and simply steals our hearts... will win the very prestigious honor of the ULTIMATE Drink '728' photo winner! This entitles you to:
The Winning Story:
"What started out as a gathering of college friends from 40 years ago, at our friend’s wonderful mountain home, became the ideal time for a ‘surprise’ 728 celebration. Little did we know that within the group, we would have two birthdays (one on 7/25 and one on 7/28) as well as a wedding anniversary on 7/28! So it turned out to be a great celebration at 8000 ft in the Colorado Rockies; a celebration of an exquisite place, life-long friends, two birthdays, one anniversary, and some great wine."
Our Judges' Pick and overall winner of "Best 728 Celebration" goes to the Dawsons and their friends. Note the unruly drinker in the group, "Elvis" the elk.
"Most Attitude" goes to wine club member Stephen L. and his friends- seen here in the photobooth at the annual 728 party!
"Best Group Photo" goes to the Governor's Club in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Can you see the 728?
"Best Music Pairing" goes to Kevin C. So sweet... so smooth.
