You do not need to attend every gathering, every month to be on the mailing list. This allows us to get the most accurate information to you about the events that interest you. Being on the list is not an RSVP. If the event requires a reservation, please click on the RSVP icon located under the event description or call the event coordinator at the number listed in the jottings. We hope to see you there!

Wine Tasting

Bring It, Drink It, Taste It

March’s wine tasting was a six-course oyster dinner paired with wine from Priam Vineyards located at Flanders’ Fish Market.  It was a very educational evening with scrumptious oysters, delicious wine and great stories!

Please join us for an afternoon of wine education and good company!  On Sunday, April 18th at 3pm, bring your favorite wine with its pairing (what food it goes well with) for our own wine tasting of our favorites!  Please bring some information about the wine, besides it being awesome:)  Keep the food to appetizers/dessert.

The wine tasting will be at Ashlee Crook’s house.  Please rsvp with your wine/food selection by April 10th.

We look forward to seeing you and learning about the wine that you love.
