GAINESVILLE - WomenSource plans a program next week entitled “Winding Down the North Georgia Wine Highway.”
Presented by Randall Murray, it will be featured at the monthly Brown Bag Lunch Thursday at noon, sponsored and catered by Oakwood Occasions.
Murray has been a wine writer and educator for more than 30 years, writing for newspapers and magazines in Pennsylvania, Florida and Georgia. He has been honored by the Academy of Wine Communications for his contributions to the industry. For many years his wine columns were syndicated nationally through the Los Angeles Times/Washington Post and Knight Ridder/Chicago Tribune syndicates. He has taught wine appreciation at colleges and
universities in Florida, Pennsylvania and Georgia, and now offering his courses at Brenau University's Learning and Leisure Institute (BULLI).
The title of his courses and columns is "Wine Without Pretense," which illustrates his philosophy that wine is and can be a fun part of daily life, not something to fear.
In addition he has written food and restaurant columns for a number of newspapers and magazines. He moved to Gainesville in 2005.
He will talk about wineries of Northeast Georgia, their strong points, and how their wines continue to improve and
impress.
