CWC WINE CLUB MEMBER CHALLENGE - STARTING FEBRUARY 2019
We have decided to spice up the free monthly flight offering with another option. We will be introducing a Blind Tasting Challenge for our CWC Wine Club members. Members will now have a choice of one of two options. Each month, club members can either select the Flight of the Month or take the Blind Tasting Challenge.
So how does the challenge work? When you choose the challenge, you will be given one 3 ounce glass of wine. The CWC staff will not be providing any information about the wine. Instead, we will provide a Blind Tasting card for you to fill out, which will have things like old world vs new world, the varietal/blend, and vintage range. Monthly, every member that gets it correct will have their name posted as a winner. In addition, those winning cards will be placed in the year end drawing for a trophy and prize! This new option will start in February. Club members can attempt the challenge once a month. If you are ready to up your game, then this challenge is for you!
And if you’re not a member of the CWC Wine Club, see one of our staff about how you go about joining and what the benefits are.
Cheers!

BASKETBALL FEVER HAS HIT CWC - MARCH 20 & 21
|
The Hoosier Wine Guy is always glad when NCAA basketball rolls around! (Imagine that! Someone from Indiana loves basketball!) As we all know, the tournament is accurately called March Madness.
In honor of the tournament, Carrera Wine Cellar would like to put on a little madness of our own! On Wednesday, March 20th, we would like to amp up our normal $15.00 Enomatic match. On this day only, put $25.00 on your card and CWC will match it up to $25.00! Additionally, all Italian stock wines will be 25% off to CWC Wine Club members. On Thursday, March 21st, the madness continues! Purchase a bottle of wine with a value of at least $15.00, and we will put $15.00 on your Enomatic card. Also, the Hoosier Wine Guy will be hosting an outdoor wine tasting, beginning at 6:30, for only $10.00++ per person. At the time of this posting, he is being very secretive as to what wines he will be pouring. This tasting will be family style and will be limited to the first 15 people to sign up. Called CWC today to reserve your spot for this tasting madness! 904.217.4751 P.S. Don’t tell Jess what the Hoosier Wine Guy is up to, as she will be out of the shop these days. While the boss is away, the Hoosier Wine Guy will play! |
ROUND & ROUND THE AROMA WHEEL! WINE SEMINAR & TASTING - MARCH 31
|
Did you know that 80% of what we taste comes from what we smell? Practice allows us to recognize and identify the aromas most commonly present in wine. Let’s smell our way around the aroma wheel to help improve our appreciation and enjoyment of wine. We will discover aromas found in a selection of wines tasted, connecting these to the wine’s origin, the grape variety and winemaking techniques.
As a Luxury Specialist for the Gallo Winery, Katie Robinson focuses on creating memorable experiences for wine enthusiasts throughout North Florida. Katie’s passion for wine grew from an early love of language and travel. As a child, she traveled to France with both her family and her school’s French exchange program. She immediately felt connected to the culture. These experiences from her youth led her to major in International Business at the University of Georgia with a minor in French. After visiting a Winery in Gigondas as part of a French business course while studying in Avignon, Katie was inspired at the thought of having wine intertwined in her professional career. Katie joined Gallo’s Management Development Program upon graduating from The University of Georgia in 2002. She began her career with Breakthru Beverage in South Florida as a Sales Consultant. Katie accepted her first position with the E&J Gallo Winery in 2005 as an On-Premise Market Specialist in South Florida. She went on to manage a team within Johnson Brothers’ Hotel & Restaurant Division in Tampa and then returned to work with the E&J Gallo Winery in North Florida in 2007. Katie grew up in Jacksonville, Florida and is deeply rooted in the local community. She has held various positions with the Winery since her career brought her back to the area. Katie is a first level Sommelier, a Certified Specialist of Wine, and recently worked the 2018 harvest in California. From picking Merlot grapes at Frei Ranch Vineyard in Sonoma, to punching down caps of small lot Pinot Noir at Louis M. Martini’s Cellar 254 in Napa, she had hands on experience with the 2018 harvest. Speaking directly with vineyard management and Gallo wine making teams throughout the process, this coveted experience earned her the title of a Gallo Winemaker’s Ambassador. So please join Katie and Carrera Wine Cellar on March 31st, at 4:00 p.m. as we explore the aromas commonly found in red and white wine. The cost is $30++ per person. Call CWC today to reserve your spot for this special event! 904.217.4751 |
