Back to School

It’s that time of the year, Summer is coming to an end, no matter what we do to stop it.  Students are getting ready to go back to school. For some of us, that means we should be getting ready to spend some painful hours helping the wee ones with homework. We should ease back in to this routine armed with some great wine recommendations.  Help Donna Schlosser-Long, President of the Finger Lakes Chapter of Women for WineSense explore some back-to-school wine pairings.  

 

As usual, we will explore interesting and unique wines from the Wildman portfolio blended with a little bit of history, a little bit of humor and a lot of fun.  September is also California Wine Month — the perfect time to experience the annual harvest season first hand. We will celebrate all that California’s vintners and growers bring to our lifestyle, economy and culinary pleasures as a part of our seminar.

Please Note - the menu for the evening will be small bites, not a full meal.

We will also have a Cork Pull during the event, similar to the pull we did last June.  Three levels of the draw will be available (the levels are still being determined), which includes wines from our April Italian winemaker event with Tenuta Torciano.  At each level, the value of the bottle you “pull” will be more than the contribution you will make- lucky you! Only 12 bottles at each price point will be available. All you need to do is:

  • Decide that you’d like to participate and at which level
  • Make the cash contribution
  • Pull a cork and match the number to the corresponding bottle.
