EARLY BIRDS GET THE (WINE)
WORM…
The 10th Annual
World of Wine Festival will be August 22-25th this year.
A tip for all of you planning on attending- Tickets are $75, if you
are a wine club member, check with your winery and see if you can get
early insider tickets for $65.
For those of you who don’t
know, WOW is a celebration and competition of local wines. Over 60
wineries participate; the only stipulation is the wines entered must
be made from southern Oregon grapes. This means we get winemakers
from all over the region involved, as well as, our local favorites.
I worked this event for a
number of years as a server and arranging auction item donations and
I always had a great time. When I worked the event, it was held at
Del Rio Vineyards. Now they have moved to Jacksonville, where they
have been able to grow the event from 1 day to a 4 day event,
offering more opportunity to truly discover Southern Oregon Wines.
This is a terrific way to
experience the fabulous wines that Southern Oregon has to offer. In
addition to the wines, you also get a souvenir wine glass and chance to sample the area’s
culinary delights- pizza, beef, jerky, cheese and chocolates in
particular. There is a silent auction, raffle and wine wheel for
added fun. I believe the entry fee is worth every cent.
We enjoy this event so
much we have a framed collection of WOW posters hanging in our living
room to commemorate the great times we have spent there.
I highly encourage you to
consider the Grand Tasting Event, at the very least, on Aug. 25th.
I don’t think you will be disappointed.
