Opportunities to WIN!!

Hello wine lovers,

Let me start out by saying sorry I haven't written anything in two months! I hope to do better with writing more often, but as many of you already know, I'm more of a speaker than a writer!

And that being said, I'm sure there are lots of you out there who haven't had the chance to attend one of my tastings or classes, yet. So, I'm running a Twitter promotion, giving two opportunities to get in on the wine tasting action!

1. One lucky gal will win a FREE Girls on Grapes membership, which includes all tasting fees for one full year! This is a $150 value! Please visit my website for current meeting calendar: http://www.ashevillewineconsulting.com/

2. One more lucky person (guy or gal) will win two FREE tickets to Asheville Wine Consulting's Wine Foundations Class (which is my version of Wine Appreciation or Wine 101). This is an unforgettable two and a half hour wine experience that introduces any wine lover to a unique approach to wine discovery from vine to bottle! This is a $100 value! The next Wine Foundations Class is now scheduled for Sunday, September 27, 5-7:30pm

What do you have to do to win?

1. Possess or establish an active Twitter account

2. Visit http://www.corkd.com/ and set up an account

3. Add a wine (and your personal review of that wine) to your "Wine Journal" on cork'd.

4. To be considered for the Girls on Grapes Membership, tweet a link to your review like this:

5. To be considered for the Wine Foundations tickets, tweet a link to your review like this:

@ashevillewine @corkd Here's my latest wine review! http://tinyurl.com/m8mcr

If you'd like to enter to win both prizes, you must do two separate wine reviews.

I will choose the winners based on inclusion of certain criteria. 1. What can you note about the color of the wine? 2. What does the wine smell like? 3. How does the wine taste? 4. How does the wine finish on your palate? 5. How would you contextualize this wine? i.e. when would you most like to drink it? what would you pair it with? I'm really just looking for some creative and fun wine drinkers to share their experiences with me...please have fun with this!

DM or email me with any questions jessica@ashevillewineconsulting.com The deadline for your wine reviews is Sunday, August 23th, 11:59pm! I'll post winners on Monday morning!
