Our next virtual tasting will be held on Friday, February 19. Our guest speaker is Rick Wasem winemaker and owner of Basalt Cellars in Clarkston, WA. The tasting team had an extremely difficult time selecting the three core wines and an optional. As a result we have two optional wines for you to choose from if you so desire. Rick will be speaking to all five wines.
The cost of the 3 wines is $57.00. The cost of the first optional wine is $ 27. The second optional wine is $ 30.28. We will be picking up our wines at Liveforblu Gallery and Wine Bar.
Reservations for this event need to be made no later than noon on Thursday, February 11. This will ensure your wine will be available for pickup starting Friday, February 12. Please email your reservation to nieswinegroup@gmail.com. Please indicate the wine option you would like to reserve and the number of bottles.
