Organic and Biodynamic Wine Tasting in LIC

Organic and Biodynamic Wine Tasting at Hunter’s Point Wines & Spirits in LIC

If you are going to drink wine, why not drink wine that tastes good and is good for the planet? Sustainable farming techniques rely on healthy soil, not chemical fertilizers, weed killers, insecticides, and other synthetic chemicals. Come to this free wine tasting to learn more about what it means to be a “certified organic” or “biodynamic” wine.

WHERE: Hunter’s Point Wine & Spirits, 47-07 Vernon Boulevard, LIC
WHEN: Thursday, March 20th from 6-8 pm

RSVP: Lynne Serpe at 646-202-0825 or Robyn Sklar at robynsklar@gmail.com

This event is co-sponsored by 3R Events, a project of Lynne Serpe and Robyn Sklar. Lynne & Robyn are long-time Green Party members who don’t just vote green - they live green. They organize monthly green events in LIC/Astoria that are fun and educational, not boring and preachy.

Hunter’s Point Wines & Spirits is an independently owned and operated store in Long Island City, NY. Owner Paul Huston graciously offered his store for this event. Hunter’s Point Wines & Spirits holds free wine tastings every Thursday and Friday from 6-8pm. Take the 7 train to Vernon Boulevard, walk 3.5 blocks north. Please call 718-472-WINE for more information.

The organic, biodynamic and sustainably farmed wines that will be available for tasting are from Small Vineyards, which specializes in single estate wines from all regions in Italy, customarily picked by hand and always earth-friendly. Production at the estate must be 10,000 cases or less. Guest Lorenzo Gaeteschi will be pouring a wine that he makes himself: an estate grown Merlot that he makes 300 cases of only.

3R Events will hold the first annual “Queens is Green Fashion Show” on April 26 at Green Space in Long Island City, highlighting green fashion designers with a Queens connection. Please contact Robyn Sklar at robynsklar@gmail.com or Lynne Serpe at 646-202-0825 for more information, or for an application to submit designs.
