Welcome back Wining Women,

We are excited to be tasting wines together again this membership year. While things might be a little different, we look forward to another year of getting to know each other & exploring some new wines. 

Please take a few minutes to read through our group guidelines.  We will meet either in-person or virtually at 7pm on the 2nd Thursday each month. Virtual meet ups will be on Zoom. We encourage you to join us on Zoom at home in small groups, outside on your patio.  Remember to mute your phone or computer after we start the guided tasting.  You can use the chat feature to ask questions or just save them until the end Q & A. 

We will meet virtually, this Thursday, September 10th at 7:00 pm via Zoom.  Once you RSVP on our Facebook event, you will be sent the Zoom Meeting ID & Password. Our own "Baby Sommelier", Dayna Epley will take us through a guided tasting of the following wines:

Kim Crawford Sauvignon blanc

a classic example of New Zealand Sauvignon blanc)

Recommended pairing:  delicious together with the creamy goat cheese;

enhanced by the citrus and acidity of the wine.


Layer Cake Shiraz

a black-fruit led Australian wine that is warmed with spices and pepper

Recommend pairing:  Gouda or a Manchego cheese for a complimentary effect.


These wines can be purchased locally at Kroger or just grab a bottle of your favorite already at home and listen in to Dayna's tips & tricks for a better wine tasting experience. 


Cheers!


Bea Bragg & Joy Barmore

Wining Women: 2nd Thursday Guidelines

  • Wining Women will meet the 2nd Thursday of each month.
  • At the meeting, there will be a signup sheet. Each lady should sign up to host or co-host. Sometimes there are two co-hostess.
  • Please bring you own wine glass.  Pouring for tasting is 1-2 oz.
  • The hostess determines what type of wine we will be tasting each month. Think Region: Grape or Variety: Brand.
  • Please RSVP on the Facebook event page. Indicate if you are bringing a bottle of the hostess selected wine variety to taste ($20-$25 max value) or a bottle of any wine to share.
  • We will have tally sheets available for the tasting and simple ranking of the wines.  The wine will be covered during the tasting and labeled with numbers 1 to 6.
  • The hostess will provide a pitcher/bowl/vase for emptying glasses of excess wine.
  • Once the tasting is complete, the hostess and co-hostess will tally the results. After tallying – she will announce the winner. The hostess then awards a small prize (i.e. wine caddy, napkins, dish towels, wine glasses, candles, etc.) $20 max value.
  • The food should be kept simple. Typically, cheese, crackers, dried fruit, nuts, dips or veggies.
