Gone are the days when homemade wine was a questionable concoction made of anything from strawberries to dandelions. Today, local oenologists can get concentrated grape pressings from established vineyards in Argentina, Italy, Chile, France and across the U.S. More than 200 varietals and blends are available, from the most popular mainstream wines including zinfandel, shiraz, merlot and chardonnay to premiums such as Pinot Noir, Chilean Malbec Carmenére and Italian Amarone. And the cost? From $2 to $4 a bottle.
Vino Mio Home Winemaking specializes in home brewery and winemaking supplies. The Valentine’s Day Wine Tasting will be a chance for wine lovers to actually sample premium homemade wines and learn more about the art of making their own wines at home.
“Making beer or wine at home doesn’t take a lot of equipment, money or space,” said Doug Johnston of Vino Mio. “It’s the perfect hobby. It gives you something to show off, share with friends, or make for special occasions and as gifts. You can even compete in amateur winemaking competitions.”
The Vino Mio Valentine’s Day Wine Tasting will feature 18 wines and 4 types of home-brewed beer for sampling. The event will have music, appetizers, and door prizes. All sampling will be free; no wine or beer will be sold at the event. Must be at least 21 to sample beer or wine. Attendance is limited so reserved tickets are required. To reserve your free tickets call Doug Johnston at 274-6532.
