Ocean Isle Beach Chapter of American
Wine Society Announces Tasting Theme For June
Ocean Isle
Beach Chapter Meeting June 23, 2013
June
5, 2013 - Ocean Isle Beach, NC - Today the
Ocean Isle Beach
Chapter of the American Wine Society
announced the theme for its next scheduled meeting and
wine tasting event.
The Ocean Isle Beach Chapter will hold its next wine
tasting event for area wine lovers and their guests on
June 23rd. The theme for this meeting will be "A
Vertical Tasting of Cabernet Sauvignon." This tasting
will feature seven Cabernet wines and will include a
vertical tasting from Santa Ema Winery of three vintage
years of its Amplus Cabernet Sauvignon. These 90+ point
wines are from 2007, 2008, and 2009. Attendees will be
able to compare this wine’s vintage years as well as to
contrast them with other wines from this same period.
May's meeting, which featured wines from Chateauneuf du
Pape, was a well received, and featured some of the best
wines the group has tasted to date, said Barwikowski,
Chapter chair. "The tasting featured 6 wines from the
southern Rhone Valley appellation of Chateauneuf du Pape.
This region which loosely translates to "The Pope's new
castle" dates back to 1308 when Pope Clement V relocated
the papacy to the town of Avignon. As a result, its
history is deeply entwined with that of papal history,
and wines of the region have traditionally been packaged
in distinctive, heavy dark wine bottles embossed with
papal regalia and insignia. For area wine lovers of any
level, who want to learn more about wine, a Chapter
tasting event can be worthwhile."
The Chapter has plans for future tastings which will
feature wines from Germany, South Africa and
participation in the national tasting project featuring
Rhone style wines. Everyone is welcome to attend chapter
meetings.
Chapter meetings are held at the
Silver Coast Winery
located at 6680 Barbeque Rd. Ocean Isle Beach, NC 28469.
The meeting will be held on June 23rd starting at 4:00
PM, and will have a strict limit of 40 attendees. The
cost of the tasting will be $10 for AWS members. The
guest tasting fee is $15, $5 of which will be refunded,
if the guest joins the American Wine Society. All guests
are urged to bring their favorite wine glass for this
event. Prior to the tasting, the chapter will hold a
brief meet and greet social with wine, and cheese being
served.
All those planning to attend this event are asked to
RSVP, by 6/20/13 via e-mail to:
