Saturday, April 2nd, 12pm-2pm- Women & Wine
Leave your hubby's at home watching the FINAL FOUR games, gather your girlfriends and/or co-workers, and head to the winery for an afternoon designed especially for the ladies. This exciting afternoon introduces women to Old World and New World wine history, the use of proper glassware, wine tasting and purchasing, and food and wine pairing. Learn to understand wine labels and ordering wine in a restaurant and so much more. We will sample six wines to "learn" and apply your skills at the end of the presentation as well as enjoy several cheeses with wine to "bring home" the wine and food pairing aspect. What a fun way to learn! You will also receive a Wine Essential Guide, a helpful tool when learning about wine. This program is presented by owner, Jill Winkler, and has been presented to Women's Leadership groups at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC!
