Blue Stone Harbor is a subdivision located in the heart of Cornelius. It is less than 5 minutes to I-77 at exit 28 and within walking distance to shops and eateries. I love that it is full of sidewalks and has lake access (boat ramp) and boat docks. Some of the homes for sale come with Deeded Boat Slips. The dock is gated and locked for owners and the boat ramp has a day dock as well. Also within walking distance is the Fresh Market. I love having such fresh produce and meats close by!

Blue Stone harbor homes were built in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Several of the homes for sale have been updated with new cabinets and counters. Homes range from 3 bedrooms, 1900 square feet to 5 bedrooms and 3200 square feet. Prices currently range from 290K-390K. The yards have mature landscaping and the homes are well kept.

OVER 80 RSVPS TO THIS EVENT SO FAR!!!! --SUMMER White Wine Party! And, this one is a dress up tasting!! Come out in your best Black & White outfits!! We will be drinking a grand selection of White wines, and light crisp wines for the summer time! (The Corkscrew also has beer too) So, come join us for a summer night of fun. This will be fun and also a cool photo opportunity for the group. We have has such an amazing 2 and a half years of fun! WWW.LKNWINEGROUP.COM TO REGISTER FOR the event

We'll be relaxing on the patio, enjoying some wine and cheese, and good friends' company. This wine tasting will consist of just white wines and sparkling wines from different regions! Even if you aren't a white wine fan, there will be something that you will enjoy. You don't necessarily have to do the tasting to come and partake in the wine drinking either! There will be specials by the glass on reds, beers, and more.

It's the same as always! 4-5 Wines picked by the wonderful staff at the Corkscrew along with some tasty snacks and cheese for only $10 CASH charge. This event is so popular that we often get about 40-50 attendees. Now that the weather is starting to warm up, I imagine that our group will be larger this time and overtake their patio area! I will send out an email later with the actual wines we will be tasting.

Joe Klosek , the manager at the Corkscrew often hand picks the selection for us and members have been very happy in the past meetups! If you are interested in ordering some bottles of wines after the tasting, the lovely staff will be able to arrange that for you as well.

Please remember to bring cash. Pay and receive your name tag. There will also be specials by the glass and bottle if you prefer to not do the tasting, or if you would like a glass after you've sampled the wines.

Please be responsible. Don't drink and drive. If you need a cab or a designated driver to drive your car home for you, we can easily arrange that as well!

Inaugural Wine Tasting at La Parisienne

How about some Wine and Chocolate in Lake Norman? I can't wait! To join the wine club and be a part of tastings like this: www.lknwinegroup.com

Mar 25 Thu 6:00 PM

I'm excited to bring a new event and venue to our members! I've been contacted by the owners of La Parisienne Chocolate, Coffee, and Wine, a quaint little confection shop located on Main St in Cornelius (Hwy 115 - the same road as Campania Cafe). The store just opened in November, and they are having their first wine tasting ever on Thursday, March 25, and they want our group to be a part of it.

The price for the tasting is $8.50, and includes 4 wines, plus a selection of fine chocolates. You read that right... CHOCOLATE WILL BE SERVED. The owners are anxious to welcome our group and become a regular part of our event schedule, so let's have a great turnout and enjoy an evening of wine and chocolate with familiar friends. A tentative wine list is as follows:

Tempra Tantrum - Spanish granache
Callia Malbec (Argentinian)
Jadot (French white blend)
O'Mara's Irish Creme (wine based - tastes like Bailey's)

As always with the tastings, the wines are subject to changes based on availability, but this sounds like an interesting selection for our first event at La Parisienne!

Chef Kristin Bou Zeidan studied the art of making fine chocolate in Paris, and then decided to open her shop right here in Lake Norman. They offer a huge selection of various chocolates from which to choose, as well as gourmet coffees, and even a nice selection of mostly French wines. To learn a bit more about their shop and background, I have included a link from Creative Loafing.
