SUMMARY:Varietal Hour – Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc
DESCRIPTION:With the reopening of public spaces\, OCWS is now presenting most of its events in person once again. However\, at the request of our members\, we are continuing to hold the OCWS Varietal Hours via Zoom every other Monday evening in 2022\, beginning on January 10th. The event provides a great opportunity for members to explore new varietals and engage in lively discussions about their favorite wines and wine regions. And it has the added benefit of enjoying it from the comfort of your own home\, without the need to drive anywhere afterwards. \nThe premise of this event is simple. The Varietal Hour committee has chosen a number of themes for the next few months to test your wine knowledge and push you to try things you might not otherwise try. Each attendee is asked to bring to the Zoom meeting a wine related to that week’s theme (you can choose something from your cellar or be adventurous in trying something new from your favorite wine store). Each attendee shares a brief description of their wine during the meeting\, and all attendees are provided with a written list via email of the wines that were shared during the event. Sign-ups for this event are done in advance on the OCWS website and a link for the meeting is emailed to you on the day of the event. \nWe welcome you to volunteer to be the host for one of the open weeks below. No experience is necessary\, and we will guide you through the process and handle the Zoom meeting functions for you. \nIf you are interested in hosting or have any ideas for future themes\, please contact Carolyn at Carolyn@ocws.org or George Cravens at George@ocws.org. \nThe OCWS Varietal Hour Committee is proud to offer the following themes for the first few months of 2022.

SUMMARY:Varietal Hour – Zinfandel
DESCRIPTION:With the reopening of public spaces\, OCWS is now presenting most of its events in person once again. However\, at the request of our members\, we are continuing to hold the OCWS Varietal Hours via Zoom every other Monday evening in 2022\, beginning on January 10th. The event provides a great opportunity for members to explore new varietals and engage in lively discussions about their favorite wines and wine regions. And it has the added benefit of enjoying it from the comfort of your own home\, without the need to drive anywhere afterwards. \nThe premise of this event is simple. The Varietal Hour committee has chosen a number of themes for the next few months to test your wine knowledge and push you to try things you might not otherwise try. Each attendee is asked to bring to the Zoom meeting a wine related to that week’s theme (you can choose something from your cellar or be adventurous in trying something new from your favorite wine store). Each attendee shares a brief description of their wine during the meeting\, and all attendees are provided with a written list via email of the wines that were shared during the event. Sign-ups for this event are done in advance on the OCWS website and a link for the meeting is emailed to you on the day of the event. \nWe welcome you to volunteer to be the host for one of the open weeks below. No experience is necessary\, and we will guide you through the process and handle the Zoom meeting functions for you. \nIf you are interested in hosting or have any ideas for future themes\, please contact Carolyn at Carolyn@ocws.org or George Cravens at George@ocws.org. \nThe OCWS Varietal Hour Committee is proud to offer the following themes for the first few months of 2022.

SUMMARY:Annual Business Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our Annual Business Meeting is scheduled for Friday\, September 10 at 7 pm. In order to continue our practice of being fiscally responsible and to reach the most members possible\, this year’s meeting will be presented over Zoom. \nDuring this meeting\, viewers will hear updated information about the current state of the Wine Society\, including our financial condition following a year and a half of no income. We will highlight what has been accomplished during the past year\, including a recap of our two wine competitions and the OC Fair\, and discuss the upcoming events we have planned for the remainder of the year\, including in-person activities starting with our Gold Medal Mini-Tasting\, our long delayed Wine Auction\, and a large social event in The Courtyard. \nOur Annual Election of three members for the Board of Directors is coming up\, and we will be introduced to the candidates who will present their qualifications and interests as potential Board members live. There will be time set aside for questions and  answers and Committee Chairs available to provide more insight. \nSign-up for attendance will be open August 1 through our OCWS website under the Events tab. Reminder announcements will also be pushed out to the membership during August. There is no cost to attend this Zoom meeting. \nThe 2020/21 OCWS Board of Directors looks forward to seeing you as we review our past year and look forward to the 2021/22 calendar year. The meeting will be concluded in accordance with OCWS Bylaws and government regulations for 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. \nWe look forward to “Zeeing” you all there! \n– Kevin Donnelly\, President
