Judges taste homemade winemakers entries

It’s C-O-M-I-N-G. One of Chester County’s favorite neighborhood parties, Twisted Vintner®, returns bigger and better for the eighth year this Thursday, June 14, starting at 6 p.m. at the Concordville Towne Center.

Noelle Barbone "supervises" the taste of wine

To kick off this year’s event, the Concordville-Chadds Ford Rotary Club sponsors held a members’ homemade wine tasting at Pescatore’s Italian Restaurant on Thursday evening. The winetasting is a tradition celebrating Twisted Vintner®’s inspiration—a friendly competition sharing homemade wines. This year there were nineteen reds and eight whites. Ten judges, all either homemade wine makers, wine suppliers, winery owners, or wine aficionados considered the wines for their appearance, aroma, body and taste. The judges will announce their decision at the Twisted Vintner® party.

Besides wine tastings from area wineries—Paradocx, Grace and Penns Wood—for beer lovers, there will be tastings from four area breweries—Victory Brewing Company, McKenzie Brew House, 2SP Brewing Company, and Kennett Brewing Company. Twisted Vintner® will offer food from ten of the area’s favorite restaurants and food providers—Acme, Brandywine Prime, the Concordville Inn, the Meat House, Outback Steak, Bertucci's, Not Your Average Joe’s, Pescatore's Italian Restaurant, and the newly re-opened Chadds Ford Tavern.

Carmine Delsignore considers a red wine

A hardy silent auction display with a variety of must-win items includes VIP tickets to Eagles and Phillies games, a diamond-studded watch, dinner at seven local restaurants, framed art, guest passes to local attractions, and much, much more. A raffle for the famous “basket wheel barrow of cheer” returns and DJ Joe Gabe is sure to get people up and dancing before the night is over.

Tickets are $60 and available at www.twistedvintner.org. Proceeds benefit the Rachel Kohl Library, Darlington Arts Center, as well as many Rotary Club

programs, including local scholarships, family assistance, and more.
