September Wine Tasting

Hello Wine-o's! 

A new month means a new wine tasting and this month we have a special event taking place for our Oriental Tasting. This month is a little different as New Bern will host a floating Sip N Shop on September 27th from 4pm-6pm, and Oriental will have a semi-traditional tasting, classroom style on September 28th at 2pm and again at 3pm.

On Friday, we will have a Sip N Shop of Italian Wines selected by New Bern Store Manager Sydney! She has selected three of her favorite Italian Wines for everyone to taste while they shop all our new fall arrivals. While this isn't a formal tasting, Sydney will be in the store that evening to answer any questions about her selections.

We say this tasting is "semi"-traditional as local Oriental resident, and Nautical Wheelers customer, Doug Sligh will be hosting and comparing 3 varietals of wines (2 of each from different regions) and discussing the impact that terroir can make on a wine - even when it's the same grape variety!

Our comparison bracket is as follows: 

Chardonnay: Sonoma, CA vs. France 

Merlot: Washington State vs. France

Cabernet: Sonoma, CA vs. Chile

We are all so excited for this tasting, it's going to be a great time.
