Thank you to everyone who came out for our first tasting of 2023! Camilla Wheeler hosted a "Celebration Cellar Break", reintroducing a variety of wines from the Nautical Wheelers wine cellar.

Mark your calendars for our February tasting taking place Friday February 10th in New Bern and Saturday February 11th in Oriental. Stay tuned for more details...
We are kicking off 2023 with a special wine tasting event that you don't want to miss. Camilla is heading into our "wine cellar" and revisiting our vast collection of wines. She will revive, rejuvenate and reintroduce some oldies but goodies in a variety of price ranges. A true wine connoisseur, Camilla will share her passion and knowledge about wine, and anyone that knows Camilla can attest to her expertise when it comes to which foods pair best with particular wines. Join us in New Bern on Friday, January 20th from 5-7pm and in Oriental on Saturday, January 21st from 2-4pm.

This will be Chris' last tasting with us as he transitions back to Mutual as a Sales Manager in their Raleigh region. Stop by and wish Chris well, or if you have yet to meet him, now is your chance!
