50 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2023
We are stepping outside our comfort zone and
trying something new for August. Champagne
is a white sparkling wine that is associated with
celebration and regarded as a symbol of luxury,
typically from the Champagne region of France.
Join us for our August meeting as we explore
Champagnes, or as some may know it, sparkling wines. These wines
might just be the most technical of all the wines in the world. The
reason most sparkling wine is so complex is because of the need for
two fermentations: one for the wine and one for the bubbles.
Wine Club member Tom DePaola will guide us through four
different sparkling wines. Learn about the process, styles, and the
all-important bubble size.
We will be joined this evening by Major Marlo
Fleck, United States Air Force Reserve. Major Fleck
graduated from the Air Force Academy in 2008. She
went on to pilot training and graduated in 2010. She
has been stationed stateside and in Okinawa, Japan.
She finished her active duty commitment in 2020 and
is currently a reserve officer stationed out of March Air Reserve Base.
When she is not flying for the Air Force, she is flying for American
Airlines.
Come join us for some special sparkling wines and an insight from
a woman pilot.
Unfortunately, we will not be providing caviar. ~ Gino Domico,
