Greetings & Salutations from your Wine Therapist!
Wine Society December
Update:
Wow, have we been kicking “corks”
or what? Our November meeting was out of
this world……it just keeps getting better & better…what can I say but…how bout them WINOS! Erin, from Empire Distributors of North Carolina
never ceases to amaze us with her extensive knowledge of “all things
wine”. She entertained us with her
knowledge & wit while sharing information about New World Reds. You missed it, folks, if you were not at our
party!
Our December meeting will be a
Holiday Celebration with our Wine Society Members each bringing a bottle of
their favorite libation to share with each other as we “Wine” down the year.
Don’t forget WINOS, bring your favorite Red or White and wear Red & White to celebrate, if you dare!
(TSC members, the Wine Society still have a few memberships still
available but they are going fast and when we reach our limit, membership will
be closed. Check with us to get details
on how to become a member of the Wine Society…..we’d love to have you join
us! Gift a membership to the Wine
Society for Christmas this year to someone you love.)
Your Grape Therapy:
What’s
a good wine? A good wine is, above all, a wine that you like enough to
drink-because the whole purpose of a wine is to give pleasure to those who
drink it! After that, how good a wine is
depends on how it measures up to a set of agreed-upon standards of performance
established by experienced, trained experts.
These standards involve mysterious concepts like balance, length, depth,
complexity, and trueness to type. None
of these concepts is objectively measurable, by the way. Come join us at The Wine Society and learn
more...you will be grape-ful you did!
My Wine pick of the month:
“Vintner’s
Almondage” Duplin Winery
Vintner's
Almondage is a sparkling wine that puts the exclamation point on many special
occasions. This Duplin sparkling wine has a luscious taste of almonds and
satisfies every indulgence.
Served over ice cream, paired with walnut cheesecake, or raised for a toast, Duplin Winery's Vintner's Almondage is sure to please even the most discerning champagne lovers. (Ask for this at TSC, it’s a hit!)
