SUMMARY:Virtual Winery Program with Big Nose Winery
DESCRIPTION:Please note:  Family members watching the webinar together only need to signup one member to attend this session.  This saves webinar connections for other members. \nThis month\, we will have a presentation by one of the founding members of Big Nose Winery. The Orange County Wine Society is very proud to introduce one of our very own Home Winemakers\, now an award-winning commercial winemaker\, Roger Mattar. \nStarting as amateur winemakers\, two families’ love of winemaking turned them into award-winning commercial winemakers. These are the Mattar & Severs families. Their love for great wine\, its complexity\, flavors and aromas intrigued them to delve into the process by which wonderful grapes emerged into fabulous wines to be shared with friends and family. \nTheir process started after getting their first round of grapes in 2012\, which is when they became home winemakers. Passions exploded and through many trials and errors\, hard work and late nights\, they still managed to have lots of fun. Thus\, Big Nose Wine was created and their dreams became a reality. For their first entry into a commercial competition\, they won two Double Gold awards\, their 2018 Rosé of Malbec (92 points) and 2018 Sauvignon Blanc (93 points). \nMembers can sign-up for the Big Nose Winery virtual seminar on our website to watch via Zoom. After you sign-up to attend\, you will receive a confirmation email with details on connecting. \nYou have the option to order the wines to be presented at a 20% discounted price to us; tax and shipping fee will be added. The wines include: the 2018 Malbec\, 2018 Merlot and the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. You may order these wines now!
