Talking Rock Receives Award of Merit From Club Manager's Association of America

PRESCOTT, AZ, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
The Ranch House at Talking Rock, a luxury golf community near Prescott,
Ariz., has received an Award of Merit from the Club Manager's Association
of America (CMAA) International Wine Society. The award comes on the
heels of the "Award of Unique Distinction" recently given to the club by
Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

Given on an annual basis, the CMAA International Wine Program Awards
recognizes clubs that establish and maintain fine wine programs for their
membership. The awards are a hallmark of quality and an assurance of an
eminent wine program. The two award levels, Award of Merit and Award of
Distinction, are attained by receiving a qualifying score based on each
club's wine selection; pricing and sales; program and staffing; and the
overall impression of the wine list as determined by the Wine Society's
distinguished panel of judges.

Of the 22 clubs recognized by CMAA, Talking Rock was the only club in
Arizona and one of five clubs in the west to receive a Wine Society Award.

"This is a great honor for Talking Rock as fellow recipients represent
some of the most respected establishments in the country," said Jon
Esquibel, director of food and beverage for Talking Rock. "As a new club,
receiving such an honor confirms all of the hard work, effort, and
passion that have gone into collecting and offering such a tremendous
wine program."

Currently, The Ranch House at Talking Rock boasts more than 250
selections on its wine list, 146 of which are offered by the glass. The
majority of the wine collection, as selected by Esquibel, features "New
World" wines, emphasizing California, New Zealand and Australia
varietals. Talking Rock also imports several small boutique wines from
Italy and Spain, usually from family-run vineyards with high quality and
low production. A sampling of The Ranch House's wine list includes wines
from Peter Michael, Cakebread, Rombauer, Opus 1, Nickel & Nickel, Silver
Oak, Bonaccorsi, Merry Edwards, Molly Dooker, Far Niente, Williams
Selyem, and Kistler, among others.
