Hosted & Told by Shella & Kim, Ophiuroidea
Ophiuroidea & Longboard Vineyards Wine tasting event for Winesfest in St Michaels 2011
PHEW! What a weekend! We had anINCREDIBLE turn out! Literally you could not get into our shop at one point there were so many people wanting to sample the LB! I can honestly say that everyone Loved the Wines!! The SB was a HUGE hit as well as the Pinot Noir and the Merlot. I just loved watching peoples faces. Especially the “I usually don’t drink reds” people. “OH WOW this is REALLY GOOD WINE!” is what came out of just about everyones mouth.
Longboard Tasters enjoyed Planked Charcoal Smoked Salmon with the Sauvignon Blanc and the Pinot Noir and Decadent Chocolates with the Dakine Merlot.
On Friday we met Butch and Sally Wilson. Sally has done The Winter Wine Roads twice! She told us she absolutley LOVED The Longboard Tasting Room! We Were So jealous!
Kim’s husband Bob was our/your Kahuna for the weekend. He was so awesome people actually thought he was from LB!
I spoke to Brooke who owns Town and Country Liquors last evening. She had a case of each of the wines. The tasting they had went very well on Friday and she has sold most of her wines and people were still calling to see if she had any left!
She has offered to get a festival permit for next years Winefest and pour wines at our location! Which means people would be able to purchase the wine on the spot and not have to go elsewhere to get it! I think LB has a home in Town and Country now :).
- Winefest at St Michaels & LongBoard Vineyards wine enthusiastically loved and enjoyed by Ophiuroidea! We already look forward to our next tasting event & WineFest next year
It was our pleasure to host your wines. As we told many who asked ”What is your connection with Longboard?” We are simply in LOVE with the wine!!
We can’t wait to have our next Tasting Event at Ophiuroidea!
