Ocean Isle Beach Chapter of American
Wine Society Announces Tasting Theme For January Meeting
Ocean Isle
Beach Chapter Meeting January 22, 2012
January
9, 2012 - Ocean Isle Beach, NC - Today the
Ocean Isle Beach Chapter of the American Wine
Society announced the theme for its next
scheduled meeting.
The Ocean Isle
Beach Chapter will hold its next wine tasting event
for area wine lovers and their guests on January
22nd. The theme for this meeting will be "A Taste of
the Yadkin Valley." This tasting will include seven
wines from six North Carolina wineries located in
the Yadkin Valley.
"December's meeting which featured sparkling wines
and champagnes was a big hit with all members and
guests in attendance," said Barwikowski, Chapter
chair. "A large part of our meetings are devoted to
wine education, and those in attendance learned
about how champagnes and sparkling wines are made,
the many laws and regulations that govern their
production, and what grape varieties are typically
used. Our January meeting will focus on wine from
our state, specifically those from the Yadkin
Valley. The Chapter is also planning a wine dinner
in March, and will feature wines from Brushy
Mountain a NC winery in a future meeting. The
Chapter will also again this year participate in the
American Wine Society's National Tasting Project on
Pinot Noir. 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 January 22nd starting at 4:30 PM. The cost of the
tasting will be $10. 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
