San Francisco Wine Enthusiasts Guild
|
We formed this club at the beginning of last year to create opportunities for Bay Area residents, couples as well as singles, to learn more about the ~Wacky & Wonderful World of Wine~ without adding to the intimidation factor, and to taste and exchange views on a wide variety of both domestic and occasionally imported wines. We encourage members to initiate events that further our appreciation, whether commercial or not (those who hold themselves above commerce don't seem to realize that paying rent to have a space in which to drink wine, or purchasing wine at high prices in a wine bar are distinctly commercial activities...) We will hold tastings, take trips to wineries, offer discounts to sponsored wine events as well as the wines being poured, and invite vintners to lead us through their current releases. From time to time, we will also convene informal tasting panels to evaluate California wines, placing our findings on the recently launched wine search service, Snooth.com, and our blog: http://sfweg.blog... . We are also investigating creating a buyers co-op to enable members to purchase wine at up to 25% off of suggested retail. Stay tuned.
