The conquistadors of Spain sailed around the world, opening new trade routes, in the Age of Discovery from the 15-18^th centuries.

We don’t need to hop on a boat or conquer lands to Discover the beauty of aged wines of Spain;

All we need to do is meet up in Remsen on Wed March 18^th!
Wine is time, terroir, and labor trapped in a bottle to be released and enjoyed.

All levels of wine enthusiasts can find great appreciation in this lecture’s selection!

This adventure includes 3 bold reds with different expressions to explore…

Wine tasting includes:
Cava for anyone arriving before 5:57pm
1 Albariño

PTOS Virtual Wine Lecture & Tasting: Memorial Day Celebration

MEMORIAL DAY! 5/25/2020

3:00pm ET

If we can't be slip n sliding across the park or down a water slide, let's party together with bubbles!

Prosecco is such an affordable, wonderful beverage that will go with whatever food you have planned to grill up for Memorial Day!

We will compare two Prosecco of different price points and briefly chat about the grape, region, and history.

Stick around and watch sabering of Champagne (What could go wrong)!

Looking forward to celebrating this holiday by pop'n bottles with y'all!
