Your favorite wine.

Choose your favorite/special/prize wine to bring and share with others - and the story of why you find this wine is so special!

Havea a delicious, full-bodied red? An earthy Burgundy? A crisp Sauvignon Blanc? Bring one to share? Just come and tell a story about it. We can compare what we like about our favorites.

If you do not have a favorite wine, I'll be buying great wines that go with seafood. Bring $20, and write it in the RSVP.

I will also be buying local oysters. If you would like oysters, tell me how many. It will be between $1 and $2 a pop.

Please bring an appetizer. We've got some remarkable cooks, but if you can only bring cheese that's OK. Still, this is not a place of judgment.

Those who bring a meal to share are exempt from bringing a wine.

The grill will be on for those who would like to bring something to grill.

You can grill seafood as well!

Cost? If this your first time, $3 for the glass. Otherwise we appreciate donations for the cleanup, space and Sparkling wine $1-5. Most of the time we cover our costs.

We start off with the sparkler.

Please RSVP with what you are bringing. Look forward to seeing you there.

PS: Please change your RSVP to "No" if your plans change.

    You can bring any kind of wine - just one you really love. It can be a red or a white. Or even a rose'! Go wild. Just tell us a story.

    the last meet was so enjoyable outside. I was happy to bring a big food dish. It was a great atmosphere and everyone was friendly and welcoming as in the past... Looking forward to it....

    • “ If you missed tonight, sorry to say, you missed a great event. Okay, there were lots of excellent wines to taste. However, as always, you can't rate high enough the fellowship of meetup folk. Oh, and yes, the food was excellent, including homemade gourmet selections and a great spread of fresh oysters. Congrats to Gawain, and thanks for all the helpers: Mary Jo, Jack, Olga, Ned, Dave, sorry, I'm forgetting the others at the moment. ”
