November Meeting Features Winemakers

By Nancy DeSanti, 1st Vice President - Programs

2018 Wine Tasting Event

For a fun Fall afternoon, you should not miss out on our most popular event of the year, which will be held on Sunday, November 17, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. in Casa Italiana. We are pleased to again present our annual lunch and wine-tasting, when our wine-making members and friends will be bringing samples of their production to share with all in attendance. We have invited the winemakers to say a few words about how they make their wine, and what the wine-making process means to them. The program will begin with a brief general meeting at which time we will elect officers and members of the board of directors (please read the related article by the Nominating Committee on page 4). We will also hear from one of this year’s scholarship winners, Julia Paola. Lunch will be catered by Three Brothers Italian Restaurant.

We owe a big thank-you to Jim Gearing and Romeo Sabatini who always helps with this event and organize the winemakers’ participation. This year the many varieties of wines to taste will be provided by Jim Gearing; Osvaldo Barsi, Stefano di Girolamo, and Carlo Clinton; John and Maria Villarubbia; Joe & Betsy Ruzzi and Ross Scorci; Romeo Sabatini and Emanuele Di Prima; Darren Sobin, Jack Grimaldi, and Wayne Witowski; Randy Holtz, and Skip and Roberta Margot. Please make your reservations early to make sure you don’t miss out on this fun event. Bring your family members and friends — they will thank you! The deadline for paid reservations is November 13, 2019. ❚
