Ocean Isle Beach Chapter of American
Wine Society Announces Tasting Theme For July
Ocean Isle
Beach Chapter Meeting July 28, 2013
July
3, 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
July 28th. The theme for this meeting will be the AWS
National Tasting Project on "Rhone Style Wines." This
tasting will feature six Rhone style wines which will be
tasted “blind” and scored by each attendee. The scores
for each wine will then be compiled and will eventually
be combined nationally with scores from other
participating Chapters.
Rhone style wines can be a single varietal or a blend of
several. These wines are primarily made from Grenache,
Syrah, Marsanne, Roussanne, and Viognier. The selected
wines will come from France, Spain, Australia, and
California.
June’s meeting featured a vertical Cabernet Sauvignon
tasting. This was the first time the Chapter has done a
vertical tasting, which demonstrated to the group how a
wine can change from one harvest year to the next and
how a wine ages over time in a bottle, said Barwikowski,
Chapter chair. “The tasting featured 7 Cabernet
Sauvignon wines from Chile and California. Cabernet
Sauvignon is often referred to as the ‘King of Red
Wines”, and is the most widely recognized premium red
wine in the world. If you enjoy Cabernet wines this was
a tasting you did not want to miss.”
For area wine lovers of any level, who want to learn
more about wine, a Chapter tasting event can be a
worthwhile event. The Chapter has plans for future
tastings which will feature wines from Germany, South
Africa and New Zealand. 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
July 28th starting at 4:00 PM, and will have a strict
limit of 40 attendees. The cost of the tasting will be
$15 for AWS members. The guest tasting fee is $20, $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 7/26/13 via e-mail to:
