An invitation to all alumni, friends and future friends of Antioch College:

Please join us for an evening of wine tasting to benefit the College Revival Fund during the “Nonstop Rocks” national fundraising weekend. Antioch College alum David Ramm will be leading the tasting in a beautiful and spacious photography studio, located in a fully accessible building near Union Square.

We will taste eight wines from around the world, many of them from organically or biodynamically farmed vineyards, all of them from people unwilling to bow to the wine world’s prevailing wisdom. Released into a market that demands sameness and quietly forgives manipulation, these handcrafted wines offer brilliant specificity, distilling the place, time, people, and traditions that produced them into approachable, compelling wines for everyday meals and special occasions.

Experienced wine tasters will discover little-heralded and often underpriced wineries and wine regions, while people with limited formal tasting experience will be given an unusual but well-grounded starting point for a lifetime’s exploration.

ABOUT DAVID RAMM: Having first tasted wine in Yellow Springs at the home of music professor John Ronsheim, David went on to take Ronsheim’s Art, Wine, and the Five Senses course and from there set to working in the wine business in New York, Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina. He has taught dozens of wine appreciation classes for businesses and private groups and as an instructor in Duke University’s continuing education division. He is currently the editor-in-chief of AMS Press, a small, scrappy scholarly publishing company based in Brooklyn.

For anyone who had the privilege of being in one of John Ronsheim’s classes, you know the lasting impression he left on all of our lives. We will raise our glasses in his honor this evening.

In order to maintain the integrity of the experience we are limiting the tasting to 25 people.
