Greetings Fellow Wine Lovers:

Summer has less than a month to go, so it's time to be thinking about the Winter season at Sandpipers. Bernie and I have had a rather lazy summer as she is slowly recovering after her cancer.

She has been doing a lot of sewing

 and I have been doing a lot of maintainence here in Kokomo.

 We both did judge wine for the Indiana State Fair.

This year we both judged amateur wine

 instead of commercial wine.

Believe it or not, there were

several excellent wines among the amateurs!

We did visit a couple of wineries here in Indiana with Jon and Donna earlier and visited Bob and Catherine

a couple of times. We are looking forward to being

at Sandpipers this late fall and winter.

We plan to arrive in the later part of October,

early enough to attend the halloween events.

We are preparing for departure for the 'Sandpiper Reunion' at Sunny Haven this holiday weekend.

A lot of Sand-pips are going to attend this event

here in northern Indiana.

We will be hosting the "Wine Appreciation Classes"

at Sandpipers Resort for I believe the eighth year.

 We are already collecting wines and recipes.

We decided to have the following themes:
***

December 11th @ 3:00 PM

   Flip-Flopz

 'bring a wine to share'

 (some wine you like a lot or discovered in your travels, etc.).

This event is open to everyone who brings a wine to share.

Please bring a simple wine snack if you can.

 No other charge for this.
*** 

January 8th @ 3:00 PM

Flip-Flopz

the first class...
South African Wines!

We will have several wines from South Africa.

 I have purchased several already.

South Africa is a up and coming wine region

 and several very good wines are appearing on the US market.

The cost for this class is $10.00.
***

February 12th @ 3:00PM
Flip-Flopz

Appetizers and Tapas with Wines

Bernie has several recipes for the Appetizers and Tapas and we will have some interesting wines to pair with them.

The cost for this class is $10.00.
***

March 18th @ 3:00 PM 
Flip Flopz

Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

 We will sample 4 or 5 of each type

 to determine what style or brand you like the best.

This class cost $10.00.
*****

Please note that the first three events will be on the second Sunday of the month, but the March event had to be scheduled on the third Sunday due to the Winter Olympics wrapping up on the second Sunday.

We will be taking money and reservations shortly after we arrive at Sandpipers for the winter. Payment has to be made to confirm your reservation and classes have in the past been sold out. We also try to maintain a waiting list in case plans change for those of us.

 

Enjoy the rest of the summer and have a great fall. Bernie and I are looking forward to seeing all of you this winter.

Hugs: Bob and Bernie
