Happy Holidays! From the berries of nature to the loving hands of our Residents...the Residents of Juniper Village prepared this wine for their Doctors this Holiday Season. Last Spring we brought some creativity to the monthly theme based Alive in All Seasons event with a home-made wine making class. What started out as an event for the Greater Meadville Community, turned into a Juniper Village favorite! There was much interest on behalf of our resident population when the community members arrived for their session. Several Residents expressed interest in joining the educational session.Jennifer Musone, Connections Director, did not hesitate to entertain this request. She coordinated the Resident's 6 week wine making class with Rich Pittner, from Windy Hill Wine Making. The first batch was an enormous success and was enjoyed at the Resident Friday afternoon Happy Hour for many weeks. When deciding upon the holiday gift for their doctor's, it only seemed natural to offer something home-made. So Jennifer embarked on another adventure in the Juniper Berry Winery located in the Historic Lafayette Tavern. Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 was created.
I hear the next batch will include elderberries...It could be ready just in time for Valentine's day, if we time it right. Perhaps some of our six couples who reside here, will take advantage of this over a romantic Valentine's Dinner. Strange to be thinking of February already, when Christmas is only a few days away. Speaking of Christmas, stay tuned for tomorrow's article on the Friends and Family Holiday Dinner. It was a smashing success...nearly 200 Residents and guests were in attendance.To read the articles on the wine making class, search the blog at the bottom of the page with keyword: WINE.
