WINE CLUB: WHAT ARE ORGANIC WINES?
Tuesday, February 21st | 6:00 pm Ballroom $25 Wine Club Monthly Membership Drop-in Class | Reservations Required

Although organic groceries are more popular than ever with the American consumer, organic wines are often maligned. Are Organic Wines a fad of the environmental movement? Do they suffer quality? Do Organic Wines contain less sulfites? Join us in Wine Club this month to get answers to these questions and more while tasting through some exciting wines which fall under one of these categories: Wines made with Organically Grown Grapes, 100% Biodynamic Wines or Wines from Sustainably-Farmed Vineyards. Many of the most prestigious names in the business are embracing these concepts and producing better than ever wines. You’ll be “green” with envy if you miss this informative and delicious tasting!
