North Carolina Wines - Think local, drink local!
Did you know that our state ranks 7th in wine production in the US and now is home to nearly 90 wineries? Did you know that most of them can be visited in a day trip from Asheville?
Tonight, we'll focus on two wineries: Rockhouse Vineyards (just 45 minutes down the road) in Tryon and Shelton Vineyards in the Yadkin Valley (North Carolina's first AVA).
Here's how it works:
Pay $5 to sample 5 wines. It's that simple!
Tasting dollar profits go directly to local charity!
Each month, we'll highlight a different non-profit
Our partner for March is WNC Group Homes!
Tonight's tasting is the finale tasting for WNC Group Homes, an organization providing residential care and life skills education, specializing in working with individuals on the autism spectrum who have significant behavioral challenges. This month's fundraising proceeds support the construction of a new group home. More information about this amazing project can be found at www.wncgrouphomes.org!
Tonight's Line-Up:
Shelton Vineyards Bin 17 Chardonnay
Rockhouse Vineyards Viognier
Shelton Vineyards Madison Lee
Shelton Vineyards Cabernet Franc
Rockhouse Vineyards Meritage
We've also got two bonus wines for you to taste blindly tonight! (Think you can you guess the varietal when grown in NC soil?)
Hope to see you here tonight! This one's not to be missed!

At some point this summer, we'll be planning an overnight wine tasting/camping trip to the Yadkin Valley...shoot me an email if you're interested and we'll get the date set!
