Corks ‘n Caps celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

 

Carol Jankowski

On Saturday, March 10 the Robson Ranch Corks n’ Caps (wine and beer) Club met at Ralph and Carol O’Jankowski’s home for an Irish-inspired event. The club guests brought a ‘green’ labeled wine to compete in a tasting challenge and an Irish or green appetizer or dessert to round out the night!

When guests arrived, they were donned with a clover necklace and offered a sampling of mead, a delicious Irish honey wine. Ralph O’Jankowski shared that in Celtic cultures, mead wine was believed to enhance virility and fertility and as a result, found its way into Irish wedding ceremonies.

The club voted for the best tasting wine at the end of the night and it was a tie with Susan and Dave O’Parker and Susan O’Herbert taking home consolation prizes! But everyone was a winner that night as they enjoyed the bounty of delicious appetizers, tasty wines, friendship and great weather on the O’Jankowski’s patio by the fire.
