Loving wine is a passion that is quickly spreading, faster than a bush fire in the arid land of the Aussie down under. To share wine is one of the greatest joys in life, right next to the joy of cooking, and sharing the spoils while dining with friends and family. This casual group will be driven by tasting wine, food pairings, enjoying entertaining banter, and listening to guest speakers as they bestow upon us the essence of the wine world as they know it. All are welcome. Couples, single …

This is a great chance for all beer lovers, home brewers, and meade fans to meet on a weekly basis with the luxury of having Cork & Fork Wine and Beer store as the venue! The best way to learn is to experience, and with beer, the best way to experience is to taste. Every week we will go through new beers, try different styles, chat about what we like and don't like, and generally talk about beer and beer related products. Check out our blog! http://corkandforknews.blogspot.com/

This group is for people who would rather entertain in their own home than go out to a restaurant for fun.  If you don't have the room for entertaining then that's ok but you need to be willing to contribute food and drink on a regular basis when other members hold events in their homes.  The idea is for someone to host a get together (dinner party, wine tasting, movie night, barbecue, whatever) and determine a "theme". The host(ess) generally  provides the main dish and the others bring theme o …
