Around the office | Marcie Warner’s Birthday | Travel OBX Informed

Marcie Warner, Southern Shores Realty’s CPA, courteously celebrated her birthday yesterday with the entire office. For years now, she has prepared her infamous “Charlie Red Hots.” A dish of bun, hotdog, and delicious chili! I’d share the chilli recipe with you; however, Marcie is claiming it’s a secret. (So hopefully we can get it out of her, possibility sometime in the future!)

Any who, we’d like to say Thanks to Marcie for being so generous on her very on 47th birthday. It was a tasty, fun afternoon! Happy Birthday, Marcie!

Well, that’s what’s been going on around our office this week :)

OBX Taste of the Beach at Sanctuary Vineyards 2012 | Travel OBX Informed

The OBX Taste of the Beach 2012 has finally arrived, and we couldn’t ask for better vendors or weather for this year’s events. Temperatures feel as if it’s already summertime, and man do they have a great selection of courses. Yesterday I chose to visit Sanctuary Vineyards, located in Currituck, North Carolina, for their “Outer Banks Winemaking Revealed” class. There was a perfect amount of attendees with a perfect amount of wine to go around!

The Outer Banks Winemaking Revealed last about 3 hours long, but is well worth your dollars. We were practically winemakers ourselves by 5 o’clock! From the ground up we learned how great wines are crafted at this informative workshop. The class focused on the growing of premium grapes, even offered to show us some techniques for the production of wines, and included the basics of wine appreciation to judging.

John Wright, the master of this vineyards wine, guided the class through the cellar to taste a large variety of wine as we waited for the entire class to arrive. Then out to the vineyard itself where we discovered everything about the vines they are currently growing, the ground process, and other exclusive details about the growing of grapes. Mr. Wright then took us for a winery tour were he taught us the proper preparation of wine from the crusher to the barrel to the glass! We grasped a lot of insight during this section of the course. (What a neat job!) At the end of the class everyone broke up into teams to put our new knowledge to the test, and created our very own wine. It was a blast. You even get to keep your glass, and are given a free grapevine to take home with you.

Sanctuary Vineyard will be having the same course today at 2 pm until 5 pm. It only cost $25 to attend, and is well worth your the money, as I previously mentioned. If you can’t devote three hours, they’ll appreciate you stopping in anytime today for a free wine tasting. They are located at 7005 Caratoke Hwy. Jarvisburg, NC 27947. You may purchase tickets at the door!
