Join us for a three part series of wine tastings that are all about comparisons. We will have a lot of fun featuring films, audio visual presentations, simple ways to exercise all of your senses, handouts and some food along with tasting many exclusive Opimian wines (27 wines in all!). Led by a certified sommelier. If you would like to learn more about wine in a completely relaxed atmosphere or would like a chance for a roundtable tasting of a wide selection of Opimian wines please join us for this three part series that will be offered on three successive Saturday evenings at 6:45 pm starting on 13 March 2010.

Wine Tasting Sessions
Session 1: New vs. Old and How to taste wine like a pro Session
2: Countries, Vintages and all that Session
3: Food and Wine and Specialty Wines
At least eight wines will be tasted in each of the three sessions.

Session 3 will include a very light meal. All other modules will include bread for the tasting, but not a meal. Participants may want to consider dining at the Avon Emporium immediately before the tasting sessions…and staying overnight at the Shipwright Inn which is at the same location – or taking advantage of a free shuttle service in the local area being offered by the Shipwright Inn so participants need not worry about driving home.

Reservations required.
All three sessions including wine, materials, taxes and gratuity $75.00 per person
To reserve call Jim Pyra at (902) 633-2370 or the Avon Emporium at (902) 633-2860
