It's Wine O' Clock Somewhere TSC Members

It’s “Wine O’clock” Somewhere…….TSC members!

Greetings & Salutations from your Wine Therapist! 

Wine Society Members, after our May meeting on May 17, we will be taking a summer break from our meetings.  We will resume the Wine Society monthly meetings in September  Stay tuned for the dates, and in the meantime, don’t whine, WINE!  Your Wine Therapist will keep in touch with “all things wine” so be prepared to still hear from me.  My first assignment for you….Email me and let me know “what made you drink a glass of wine today?

Your Grape Therapy:

What is the Wine Society …..a club for fun-loving people who enjoy food, wine, laughter, and getting together for a little “sanity” in their lives, all the while giving back and leaving a legacy!  After all, our motto is  “Red & White” for life.  NC State is red & white, and so is my favorite beverage!  Spain’s philosophy is, “Eat when you drink, drink when you eat”!  I LOVE these people!

Wine Society April Update:

April….wow…what amazing adventure for the Wine Society!  The NC Wine Tour for the Wine Society was so much fun!  We departed the club around 10 o’clock and began the tour with a hearty kick-off Mimosa.  New friends were made and so were great memories.  My pick of the litter……”Shelton Vineyards”.  You just have to visit this winery!

May    “Guess where I’m from”

Just as important as the wines themselves are the regions they come from, each with their own particular wines and histories.  This month’s meeting will allow you to draw surprising connections between wines grown in the same area and on opposite sides of the world.  As you blind taste test, you will enhance your abilities to taste and discuss different wines and their regions.

Erin Mosier, from Empire, will help you expand your understanding of the intricate link between a particular place and the wines produced there.  Please RSVP for this event.

My Wine pick of the month:

2011 Yadkin Valley Riesling, Shelton Vineyards

Shelton Vineyards has just released this awesome spring wine.  While not yet available at TSC, we wait with baited breath for its arrival.  Wow, this refreshing white wine is simply amazing.  Look for it soon at the club!
