An Exclusive Barrel Tasting Event with George Fernandez ’77

President John S. Nader and Kathy Ann Wolverton cordially invite you to join them for an intimate evening with FSC professor and alum George Fernandez '77, known fondly as the “Grape Whisperer,” as he shares with us the stories behind Roanoke Vineyard’s 2019 epic vintage - most likely to be remembered as a portfolio of the best red estate wines ever produced on Long Island. These wines are only available to Roanoke Vineyards wine club members, except for this rare one-time opportunity for alumni and friends of Farmingdale State College. Settle in for an exceptional evening with your significant other or attend on your own for this unique barrel tasting experience.
