We hope everyone is enjoying the start of Fall and the crisp, fresh air and beautiful colors that come with it. In the interest of safety and the challenges that social distancing presents the board has opted for a virtual Zoom tasting this month.
Our September virtual tasting went surprisingly well with 30 in attendance! Everyone enjoyed the comradery brought about by seeing old friends and several attendees held dinner parties to showcase the outstanding selection of wines.
Our October speaker for the evening will be Kelsey Ellis, Area Manager for Cru Selections. She will be presenting the wines from Walla Walla vintner, Isenhower Cellars with a possible guest appearance from their winemaker, Denise Isenhower. Based on the responses from our September survey, we will offer 3 wines for $45.00 with an option to purchase a fourth, higher end wine, for $30.
I Series, Viognier
I Series, Malbec
Photo Bomb, Cabernet Sauvignon
Road Less Traveled, Cabernet Franc. (optional fourth wine)
We recommend that you try the Zoom link the day before the tasting to make sure you can connect. If you run into any difficulties, please email nieswinegroup@gmail.com and someone will contact you.
