Tonight, join me and Old York Cellars for an online wine tasting. Participants and those following along can interact live with fellow wine lovers (like me) and acclaimed wine maker Scott Gares.
Tonight we will sampling the 2011 Chardonnay and the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Old York Cellars. I will be participating in the online wine tasting from my home, sampling the wines and pairing them with chocolate from Laurie’s chocolates.
In addition to the fabulous wines, another reason why I agreed to participate in the online wine tasting is because Old York Cellars is supporting my beloved State of New Jersey. From New Jersey, for New Jersey and in support of New Jersey! For every participant of the #VirtualVines tasting, Old York Cellars will donate $1 for each bottle sold to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund, Inc.
