Julia Rice introduced speaker Todd Cli , owner of Moonstone Cellars, which was conceived in a basement overlooking Moonstone Beach where Todd and his father, Muril, began making wine in 1998.
Todd began by telling us how he chucked his corporate job to dive into making wine on a full me basis. A er volunteering at a number of wineries to work for free so he could learn the business and being turned down each me, he nally got a job in the tas ng room at Harmony Cellars where winemaker, Chuck Mulligan, took him under his wings.
Todd then explained the six “S’s” of wine tasting: See, Swirl, Smell, Sip, Spit or Swallow, Savor, while treating us to tastings of some of Moonstone’s wonderful wines. Needless to say, a good me was had by all!
