In a late afternoon gathering, Iowa NAMA Chapter members and guests gathered at Jasper Winery in downtown Des Moines on October 27, to hear a presentation made by Chocolate Storybook owner, Steve Shearer, and enjoy a wine tasting.  Steve Shearer’s Des Moines based company, Chocolate Storybook, specializes in not only chocolate, but corporate and personalized gifts.  Attendees were able to view and enjoy various gift ideas for clients, partner companies and employees.

The remaining portion of the event was entertained with a wine tasting of Jasper Winery selections. Those attending shared in some laughs as they were taught how to properly swirl, smell and select wines.  Information was also shared with the group about the operations of the Jasper Winery and how their marketing is coordinated with minimal staff.

This was an enjoyable afternoon event for members and guests.  Please consider attending the next Iowa NAMA Chapter social event!
