2008 Mini-Tasting Schedule

Five Mini-Tastings are planned for 2008 to be held at member host sites. The following Saturday Mini-Tastings are planned:

  • February 23 - Sparkling Wines
  • May 31- Paso Robles Reds
  • July 5 - Orange County Fair Gold Medal Winners
  • September 27 - Cabernet Sauvignon & Red Meritage
  • October 25 - Zinfandel

The Sparkling Wine Mini-tasting will be a noon time brunch (since we haven’t had a Champagne brunch in a while). Price will be raised to $30 (members) & $35 (non–members) to cover the cost of purchasing sparkling wines. Additionally, for this tasting only, we will have three Chef-Of-The-Day awards:.

  • Chef for appetizer or entrée
  • Chef for non-chocolate dessert
  • Chef for chocolate dessert

All four remaining Mini-Tastings will be scheduled for the normal 6:00 p.m. start. All four remaining Mini-Tastings will also be at the normal price of $25 (members) & $30 (non–members) 

We are very grateful to the few members who consistently host our Mini-Tastings and want to thank them for opening their homes to this event. We need additional volunteers to host the Mini-Tastings for this year. If you have attended a Mini-Tasting and would like to host one or more of the above events, please notify Jim Beard at 949.786.2898 or Janet at the OCWS Office at 714.708.1636.

For those who are new members or have not hosted a Mini-Tasting, these events are one of the best ways to meet other members, enjoy great food, and taste excellent wines. They are held in OCWS members’ homes throughout Orange County and consist of up to 16 attendees plus the hosts. The hosts are supplied with the wines plus supplies for the tasting including glasses, dump buckets, water pitchers, pour spouts, and disposable plates, napkins, and eating utensils.  Finally, if you serve as hosts, you attend the Mini-Tasting for free!

See you at the Tastings!

Jim Beard
