On February 7 and February 21, 2020, SC Wine Joe presented "Wines of the Eastern United States" to a total of 50 participants from the Osher Lifetime Learning Institute at Furman University. We reviewed the history and the current status of wine making in the eastern states, focusing on Virginia, New York and the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina. This was the fifth year that SC Wine Joe has presented a wine program at OLLI.
Above are students from the February 21 session.
