The Fall Portfolio Tasting

The Winemakers Co-Op Fall Portfolio Tasting will feature 32 fine wines from some of New Jersey's top producers.

She will sign copies and read excerpts as well. Delicious foods will be available from Princeton dining hot spots Cargot Brasserie and Agricola Community Eatery.

VIP tickets will include access to a 12:30pm Winemakers' Round Table panel discussion and tasting. Each winemaker will present a vertical flight of 2 to 3 signature wines for tasting and discussion. VIP entrants will also have a chance to taste a selection of reserve wines, and a complimentary cheese & charcuterie platter.

The Winemakers Co-Op holds two large public tastings each year. All wines poured at these events adhere to the Co-Op's standards for NJ fine wine- that they are classic vitis vinifera varieties, dry or clasically off-dry, and from 100% New Jersey grown grapes. These wines are terroir driven; true expressions of what New Jersey climate and soil can represent! Most are estate grown, and several are single vineyard bottlings.
