There are a limited number of spaces (35 +/-), but because attendance is so unreliable in Meetup, I've lifted the cap on RSVP's. If you pay in advance you know your entrance is guarenteed.

In honor of La Fête Nationale (and my own heritage) we have invited California wineries (GoLocal) with a French connection such as Mumm Napa Valley, St. Supery, Newton, Beaucanon, HdV, Chateau Potelle, DeLoach, Sonoma Cuvée, Raymond, and Tablas Creek to submit samples of new releases. Domaine Chandon has sent their outstanding "still wine" Pinot Noir . The wines will be paired with French hors d'oeuvres. We are seeking donations of charcuterie, paté and saucisson from Fabrique Délices, "nibblettes" from La Boulange, and cheeses from the Marin French Cheese Co. Comme d'habitude, we will rate and rank the wines for our blog.

We are fortunate to be able to host this event on our favorite gallery, Art People in the Galleria.

Those who pay in advance will go into a raffle for wines and tickets. Note the modest change in pricing starting July 8th--an old merchandizing trick that Myles uses for SF NewTech meetups.
