7th Annual Blessing of the Vine
The "Blessing of the Vine", Charleston, SC event, will be held November 14, 2009 from 1 to 5 PM. The "blessing" will be held promptly at 2PM. Admission for the Irving House Vineyard's Blessing of the Vine will be $5 per car. Irving-House Vineyards is the only one of its kind in Charleston and only one of a few estate wineries in South Carolina. They produce Live Oak Reserve which is a Red Muscadine with a blend that is a balance of soft subtle light fruit flavors. Next they offer Magnolia which is a White Muscadine explained as a light refreshing, crisp sweet fruit flavored white wine. They also offer Mullet Hall Red which is another Red Muscadine known as a dry red table wine with a lively fruity flavor distinctive of the Muscadine. Second to last is Palmetto which is a Red Muscadine with a sweet rich light bodied fruity muscadine flavor. Last in the Irving-House Vineyards portfolio is Tara Gold which is a White Muscadine with semi-dry, mellow, and light fruitiness flavors. These five distinctive Muscadine wines will be available for tasting at the "Blessing of the Vine" ceremony November 14, 2009. Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka (harvested from muscadine grapes and local tea leaves) has been their latest addition at the vineyard with bottles literally flying of the shelves. Taste it for yourself to see why it has become such a great hit!
