As we are preparing our syllabus for the First Meeting of our Virtual Wine Circle, we'd like to ask you what your thoughts are:
1. We were thinking about doing a wine tasting with a store-bought wine that anyone can find. Reasoning behind this is that we will all be tasting the same wine and learning a few descriptors along the way. No worry, no expensive wines will be bought! We were thinking of having a different store-bought wine every circle meeting - what do you think?
We don't want to solely do wine tasting, but as I said, we would all benefit in learning the descriptors and we all will know what the other is talking about when someone says "flabby" (or for me, insipid!).
2. We will be also discussing Colin Tweed's talk, "Methods of Juice Extraction." Please think about how you get the juice out of your fruit. A little preparation for the Circle meeting is asked of you. Otherwise we'd be sitting there for over 6 hours to get everyone's questions answered!
3. There will be a discussion forum, but we would like to ask you to try to keep on track with the topic. It's easy to go off topic while tasting wine (trust me!) but please try.
We're not sure of the date at the moment of the VIrtual Wine Circle, but please keep this page as a reference. I am sure Bobby will also post the date of our meeting on the Calendar.
Don't worry, it's not set in stone. These were more some thoughts than anything else. Your comments are appreciated, and NEEDED!!!
