"I hosted a wine tasting party at the Black Rock Winery on the evening of May 28 for my Pinehurst Newcomers Wine Tasting Group. The party featured a talk by John Wester titled "Wine 101". John talked about wine production, how to taste wines and ideas on pairing wines with foods. The talk was very informative and delightfully entertaining. John engaged the entire group in his lecture, exchanging stories and even recipes. We sampled five different Black Rock wines and discussed the attributes of each one. They were all delicious! My group was thrilled by the experience and I highly recommend it as a beginning get together for any group of novice wine aficionados." |

Our resident wine expert, John, will visit your home with samples of Black Rock wine and answer all of your questions about wine. John has over twenty years of experience in wine collecting and wine knowledge; If John does not know the answer to your question, he will find it and get back to you! John plans to start with terminology- vineyard, vintage, varietals, generics and proprietary wines. He will discuss serving wine, temperature and labels. Did you know that a lot about how wine is produced is based on the laws of the country from which it is produced? John will also discuss matching food and wine; aging wine in oak verses stainless steel; and topics such as acidity, balance, residual sugar, palate fatigue will all be covered.
This event can be held at our winery or in your home. The cost is $8 per person with a 10 person minimum.
