Upcoming Wine Tasting Postponed


We will be postponing the April 8 Wines of the Titanic tasting until it is safe to gather together again. We don't know when we will resume meetings, but as soon as we know it is safe, we plan to pick up right where we left off!

Don't forget to tune into KDKA's Pittsburgh Today Live on Friday, March 20 between 9-10 a.m. to see our very own John Eld discuss the wines of the Titanic. Consider it a preview of coming attractions for when we meet again.

The world feels like it is shutting down a bit, so I hope you and your family are staying safe and that you have stockpiled some nice bottles of wine to sip as we navigate these trying times. Also, visit our recipes page to make some of those delicious recipes from last week and previous tastings.

Adam Knoerzer, the wine educator and owner of Burghundy.com who presented the Wines of South Africa last week is giving some online classes since gathering as a group is now being discouraged.

There are currently 5 scheduled right now, and they're hour-long sessions that tackle a topic like Chardonnay, Chile, or Pinot Noir in Oregon. The price is low ($15), and he gives an example of what he'll be tasting in case you want to "play along" at home.

During the live presentation he will cover things like history and geography as it pertains to the grape or region/style, climate, winemaking practices, key information, and, of course, taste through the wines discussed.

Until we meet again, stay safe and savor life one sip at a time.
