“The Green Vine,” by Shannon Borg
Come taste a sampling of sustainable wines as Orcas Island’s own Shannon Borg reads from her latest book, The Green Vine. Learn which West Coast wineries are keeping traditional wine-making alive with organic and environmentally responsible growing methods, wine production, and packaging. Then try a sampling and see for yourself if artisan wines surpass the larger, commercial producers.
The reading will be accompanied with light hors d’oeuvres, and followed by an open mic and book-signing. The event is free and open to the public.
Shannon Borg is a writer, editor, poet and wine educator. She lives on Orcas Island, where she is the Wine Steward for Doe Bay Café at Doe Bay Resort and Retreat. Her latest book, The Green Vine: A Guide to West Coast Sustainable, Organic, and Biodynamic Wines, was released this fall from Mountaineers Books. Borg has also published a book of poems, Corset, (Cherry Grove, 2006), and the cookbook Chefs on the Farm: Inspired Lessons and Recipes from the Quillisascut Farm School of the Domestic Arts (Mountaineers, 2008), plus three eBooks: Beginners Guide to Wine: Moscato, Grenache and Tempranillo (Demand Publishing, 2011).
