What: Wines from South America and South Africa
When: Sat. June 13th, 2009 – 6:30 to 9PM
Where: Redwood Shores – Exact address to be emailed to those who have paid.

We're having a wine-tasting party at a scenic clubhouse on a lagoon in Redwood Shores with the theme " Wines from South America and South Africa". Each guest is asked to bring at least a 1/2 bottle of their favorite South American or South African wine ($10+). People coming in pairs can bring 1 bottle per couple, 3 people can bring 2 bottles, etc. Parking is extremely limited so guests are strongly encouraged to carpool, not to mention you could find someone with whom to split the bottle of wine. Substantial appetizers will be provided.

To pay for the room reservation, food, and cleanup, as well as get a firm headcount for ordering appetizers, a $10.60 per person payment is required in advance via Paypal. Refunds can be requested up to 24 hours before the event. Note: If you don't have a Paypal account and don't want to create one for this purpose, you can request an address for mailing a check but this needs to be done immediately after you RSVP.

      “ I enjoy this setting - a nice clubhouse with a view, an appetizer buffet to snack inbetween wine tastings, an intimate group which allows one to meet, talk, taste and discuss with others the various wines with very little distraction. Our host (Bob) was gracious enough to have another event - looking forward to more events like this - thanks Bob ”
    • “ Excellent choice of wines, good ambiance, a great group who were there to socialize but also to be taste and critique the wines without going overly serious. Thanks for hosting a wonderful soiree Bob. ”
    • Donna (+2 guests)
      “ I thought for sure everyone would bring a pinotage, but that's what happens when you assume. There was a wide variety of wines -- a bit too much for us to finish off. Very fun to try the South American vintages! ”
    • “ Bob really puts out a spread of good food and is a wonderful host. ”
