Wine Appreciation Chapter
Posted by Robert Morrow
ROTARY WINE APPRECIATION FELLOWSHIP
BEST OF FRIENDS CHAPTER
You are invited to register for the very first Wine Appreciation Event for District 7090.
Date: Friday September 18, 2015, 6.30 p.m.
Location: Redstone Winery, 4245 King Street, Beamsville, ON
Cost: $25
The evening will consist of a wine tasting and include hors d’oeuvres and much fellowship. You will also be made aware of the advantages of joining Rotary’s International Wine Appreciation Fellowship; this will be a requirement sometime in the future, but not initially for the local chapter. There will be no fee for joining the local chapter. The hors d’oeuvres will be substantial but some people may wish to stay later and enjoy more food at the winery’s restaurant (their pizzas are the greatest!).
About the winery
Redstone is a beautiful new facility between Vineland and Beamsville, on King Street (old Highway #8); it is easily accessible from the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) via Victoria Street (for those coming from east of Vineland) and the Ontario Street exit (Beamsville) for those arriving from the west.
The winery has been open since May and the restaurant for only five weeks. However, the winery is owned by Tawse and has been developing its cellar for over five years.
