September Mini-Tasting "Cabernet Sauvignon & Red Meritage"
Saturday, September 27th at 6:00 P.M. The fourth Mini-Tasting of the year will be held on Saturday, September 27, at 6:00 p.m. at various host sites. Twelve wines will be provided and grouped into six flights for serving at each site. Host sites will be announced to those attending approximately one week prior to the event, including directions and a map to the host site. Every effort is made to place you at the location nearest your home or to accommodate your site-specific request. However, your assigned host site is also based on the order in which your sign-up is received in the OCWS office. If you are interested in hosting the event, have attended at least one Mini-Tasting and can easily accommodate 16 people plus yourself, notify Jim Beard at 949.786.2898 or Janet at the OCWS Office at 714.708.1636. If you serve as hosts, you attend the Mini-Tasting for free. The cost to attend is $25 for members and $30 for non-members. Each person attending is requested to bring a potluck dish (appetizer, entrée, or side dish) to serve at least 8 to 10 people and designed to match the theme of the tasting (couples may need to double the recipe). As usual, there will be a special bottle of wine that evening as a prize for the Chef-of-the-Evening. Get out those gourmet cookbooks and try something special to share. To attend, just complete the sign-up sheet in the newsletter and fax or mail to the OCWS office or sign-up on the OCWS website. We are currently planning a maximum of six sites so the Mini-Tasting is limited to a maximum of 96 attendees. Wines for the evening are selected and purchased approximately one week prior to the event. Therefore, unless there is a waiting list you will not be refunded your money if you cannot attend. The cut-off date for event sign up is Wednesday, September 17. Desserts may be limited at the discretion of the host; therefore, each attendee will be requested to call the host 2 to 4 days prior to the tasting to advise the host what food the attendee is bringing to the tasting. Using this approach, attendees will enjoy a greater variety of food pairings with delicious wines. We encourage you to sign-up early as some sites tend to fill quickly.
