Friends, Wine Lovers, Countrymen... lend me your ears. I'm sending this description out to a few special clients... and said - maybe we can tell Friends and @followers on Facebook
I have a new concept.... based on the concept that "Wine people are generally good people" ... (like Dog people).
I would like to get a room full of WINE PEOPLE to share stories. Each person brings one bottle ... (I will bring a good one) and tell a story about why they like this bottle or why they brought that particular bottle.... maybe it's going to be your first time tasting it but tell us why you want to share it. It can be any price .... any color ... any grape... any vintage!
The goal of "Bring-a-Bottle Wine Social" is to discover and share how wine connects us all.... and part of our new program called “Wine Friender!”
Come solo, bring a buddy, bring a spouse ... come alone and find a friend. It's about making friends... that is it. Not a dating app or dating situation but more of a social ... No pressure! Just meet new people and make new friends and good things can happen.
We provide a great venue, glassware, a great welcome wine to get us started.... and a plate of hummus and veggies. I will help explain some of the wines and move this into a wine education session... you guys will provide the comedy - the stories - the emotion.
It's just a great way to socialize and make new friends.
$59 - Did I mention - this experience is low cost!!
