June Vineyard Tour
Our 3rd vineyard tour of 2023 will be June 14th, meeting at 11 AM, at the fabulous Dyette Family Vineyard in Spanish Springs. Please put this date in your calendar. Moe and Adrian are great hosts – and you will surely enjoy yourself while learning a lot about all the effort it took to plant over 1,000 vines over the past years in very rocky terrain, along with 350 new Riesling vines planted last year as a participant in the UNR Riesling trials.
The location is 1095 Sunset Vista Ct, Sparks, NV, 89441. We will provide the main dish and you bring a bottle of wine and a side dish or desert. Please RSVP so we can get a head count for lunch.
June Second Wednesday Members Gather
On June 14th our social crew has reserved space for NGGW members and their guests at Whispering Vine – 4th St (4201 W. 4th St) from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. If you know the team, then you know Curtis, Brian, Josh, Shannin and their 24-year history.
June 14th is also Flag Day; let’s celebrate it with some Red & White (and Blue) American Wines. Whispering Vine has a great menu, with a full kitchen that opens at 4PM. You can also have supper if you wish and it’s an easy place to find. We’ll have a lot of fun, and there’s certainly lots to talk about, with the winter over and the grapes starting to really pop.
We will provide the main dish and you bring a bottle of wine and a side dish or desert. Please RSVP so we can get a head count.
May Vineyard Tour
Our next vineyard tour of 2023 will be May 13th, meeting at 11 AM, at Dave Perdue’s vineyard in North Valleys (8495 Opal Station Dr, Reno, NV 89510 (after you turn off of Golden Valley Road onto Opal Station Drive immediately turn right at the fire hydrant and drive to the end of the private road).
We will provide the main dish and you bring a bottle of wine and a side dish or desert. Please RSVP so we can get a head count for lunch.
May Blending Experience
We will be at the 4th Street Wineries at 5:30 PM on May 24th for a blending experience (training and tasting). Nevada Sunset Winery will guide us into the world of blending, with some test blending of their wines, and members are encouraged to bring a bottle or two of their wine for test blending as well, both reds and whites. You can experiment blending your wine and also blend with other members wine at the event. Blending is a great way to learn what your wine can do if it doesn’t have to stand on it on, but can enjoy different dimensions other wines provide. Sometimes you are tired of drinking a single varietal, and a blend may be want you are looking for.
Watch for our 2nd Wednesday of each month gatherings, either social or educational, thru August, and also for our vineyard tours thru July. Download and save our calendar.
2nd Wednesday Social Event on April 12th
Please join NGGW for a evening of wine, fun, and Friends at Black Rock Wine Company at 6135 Lakeside Dr, Reno, 6PM to 8PM. Please RSVP if you can so we can get a head count.
