Ocean Isle Beach Chapter Meeting April 29, 2012

April 14, 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 April 29th. The theme for this meeting will be "Discovering the Value of Portuguese Wines." This tasting will include six table wines from Portugal's premier wine regions, Douro and Minho.

March's meeting which featured a wine dinner at Chianti South Italian Restaurant was fantastic. The food and wine pairings were a home run, said Barwikowski, Chapter chair. "The wine dinner consisted of four courses with beautifully paired wines, with ample amounts of food and wine being served. The Chapter is also planning tastings featuring wines from the PGA Tour, premium boxed wines, and a one year chapter birthday celebration in future meetings. 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."
