Due to COVID-19 restrictions the Friends of Sims Library will be presenting its annual
Wine with Friends in a different format this year. While it will not be possible to meet for the
traditional tasting at Sims Library, the Friends are offering two packages of the
wines and cheeses you will need to host your own small tasting during the holidays,
or to enjoy at your leisure.
The first package consists of two bottles of wine, a “Lago” Cerqueira Rose’ 2019 from
Portugal and a red La Fiera Montpulciano d'Abruzzo 2017, and an assortment of cheeses
in a reusable canvas bag. The package costs $50. The second package adds a red Jardim
da Estrela 2017 from Portugal along with a bottle of Kentwood Yulupa Brut sparkling
wine and an assortment of cheeses and chocolates, and costs $100.
Each participant will be given a link to a video featuring this year's partners for
the event, Todd Delaune, owner of The Red, White and Brew, and Ashley Pequet, owner
of The Rind Cheese Shop and Catering, who will talk about the wines and cheeses and
no doubt add some sparkle to your own private wine tasting.
All orders must be purchased by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 1
Wine and cheese packages will be available for pick-up in Hammond on Thursday, December
10. Pick-up information will be sent out after orders are placed. Participants
living in Hammond or Ponchatoula will also have the option of home delivery for an
additional $5.00.
This year, proceeds from Wine with Friends will be used to purchase additional tech devices such as laptops, chrome books, headphones,
webcams, chargers, hotspots, etc., for student use as the University has moved to
online learning due to the pandemic.
For additional information and payment options, please email FOSL@southeastern.edu or call Janie Branham at (985) 549-2186.
