Rotary to hold wine presentation at AJ’s

Posted on Apr 19 2006
Rotary Club of Saipan will be holding a wine presentation this Saturday, 6pm at the AJ’s Restaurant in Susupe.
Marianas Pacific Distributors, Inc. Liquor and Tobacco sales manager Sheila Peebles will lead the wine presentation.
Speaking in yesterday’s Rotary Club of Saipan meeting at the Hyatt Regency Saipan, Peebles said that nine of the world’s finest wines would be introduced to members of CNMI community. She refused to identify the wines, besides saying that her presentation would both inform and educate wine aficionados in the CNMI.
“Let your palate do the talking,” she said.
Peebles has been active in wine presentations on the island, the most recent one of which focused on the difference between reserve wine and regular wine.
She said reserve wine is a premium wine, meaning that the grapes picked for this type are of highest quality than regular wine. Grape harvesters would first pick the best quality or the premium grapes in the vineyards to ferment them into a reserve wine. Although reserve has no legal definition, this term is often used by wineries to designate their best quality wines, she said. Peebles has already shared with the CNMI community the five steps of tasting wine: Check the color, swirl, smell, taste, and savor.
The MARPAC sales manager invited the Rotarians and the public to this week’s wine tasting and appreciation night at the Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan Chambre Restaurant.
