Thursday evening, May 27th, 2008, some of our Wine Club Members and their guests attended a blind wine tasting to compare several of our Fox Valley Illinois wines to wines produced from all around the world.  To start the juices flowing, we had a dish filled with all different tastes and smells (vanilla, cassis, rhubarb, tobacco, anise, just to name a few) to better identify the aromas and tastes of the wines. It was a fun night and educational also! 

Chocolate & Wine Pairing Class

We indulged our senses as we sipped our Vintage Zin out of chocolate rim dipped wine glasses, and saturated clemetines in melted milk chocolate! Yumm Yumm!
