North Shore Winery to host event Oct. 15

It’s been a busy summer at North Shore Winery, as WTIP’s Joe Friedrichs reports in this feature about the new business.

In addition, North Shore Winery is hosting an event known as ‘Harvest Fest’ on Oct. 15. The public is invited to join winemaker, Chuck Corliss, and his assistant, Karl Klinker, as they demonstrate how North Shore Winery ferments and processes wines after receiving grapes. Guests will be able to step into the barrel room during the hours NSW are open that day to get a personal tour of the operation including an opportunity to see each piece of equipment used in the process.

The schedule of events includes:
Saturday, October 15
