New View Wine Tasting at Glen Oaks

It is time again for New View to host an After Hours event this week on Thursday, July 11, 2013 at Glen Oaks Country Club.  We are pleased to have Ashley Damos, a Certified Wine Specialist and Assistant Wine & Spirits Manager from the Mills Civic Hy-Vee store lead us in wine sampling.  As a Certified Wine Specialist, Ashley brings a wealth of knowledge about different types of wine, wine regions, food and wine pairings, and more!

Ashley has chosen six types of wines for us to sample: Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Red Blend, and Cabernet Sauvignon.  The selected wines are from California, Oregon, Washington, and Argentina!  Many of the wines we will be sampling have rich histories or Iowa ties.  Ashley will provide sampling sheets for all attendees to record information such as the Vineyard name, grape varietal, region, year, taste profile, and price at the Mills Civic Hy-Vee Wine & Spirits store.  Participants can present the sampling sheet to the Mills Civic Hy-Vee Wine & Spirits store to receive a 10% discount on all wine purchases from Thursday night after the event through Sunday, July 14, 2013!

The event will be from 5:00-7:00 p.m. and include two flights: white and red.  The white flight will occur at approximately 5:30 p.m. or soon after a sizable crowd has arrived, while the red flight will occur at approximately 6:15 p.m.  There will be no charge to participants for sampling while supplies last.  During the sampling, Ashley will discuss each wine, including its Vineyard, history, taste profile, and more!  In addition, Ashley will be available throughout the entire event to answer all of our questions about wine. 

Thank you, Ashley, for your help with this event, and we look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday, July 11, 2013 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at Glen Oaks Country Club.
