It’s time to “Wine” Up for 2017 and get ready for a New Year filled with great possibilities.  The Wine Up event is Thursday, January 26 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the Chamber Office.   This event includes a wine tasting, wine swap and wine pairing lesson from wine expert Dominique DeVito.  Enjoy the wine swap by bringing 2 bottles of a favorite wine, one for sharing and tasting and one for swapping. (both bottles should be the same – minimum price $10).   After some tasting, the fun really begins with the swapping, which will be facilitated by the Chamber Staff.   There will be light hors d’ oeuvres and dessert for your enjoyment, and as the tasting is going on, Dominique, who is also Co-Owner of Hudson-Chatham Winery will explain which of the food items pair well with the wines on hand.  If you just prefer to network, enjoy the hors d’ oeuvres and a glass of wine, beer or soft drink and not participate in the swap, the cost is just $10.  No cost for wine swap participation, just bring your two bottles and you’ll leave with a new fave!  Bring your spouse or significant other.  We highly recommend that you RSVP to the Chamber by January 23 for this event.  Please call 518-828-4417 or email mail@columbiachamber-ny.com.
