Italian Wine, Food, and Mural Adventure

This location is shown only to members

I was looking for a great way to kickoff our new Wine Enthusiasts Meetup so I decided to go with what this is all about. Wine, Food, Learning ....and of course a GREAT time. So, our First SCVWE Meetup is going to be an Italian Wine, Food and Mural adventure. I am asking that each Wine Enthusiast bring a bottle of Italian Wine and an Italian appetizer. So,a couple will bring two bottles. I will have a mural artist here and those who are willing can be part of painting a Tuscany Landscape Mural. Don't worry if you are not an artist, it is a blast being part of the adventure. ( I have downloaded some photos of a Wine and Bacchus/Venus Mural painting Meetup to give a little slice of the fun that can be had in a few hours time.) We will be able to taste and talk about great Italian Wine..( I am not tied to a rating system, but I do find that if everyone brings bottles with an 88 PT Rating or higher from one of the main wine periodicals we don't have a large disparity in quality, Thx) The appetizer is your choice, just go Italian. I will ask for RSVPs
as this Meetup will be limited to 22 Wine Lovers. When you RSVP please tell me what you think of when you think of Tuscany, and I will have the artist add that into our pre-mural sketch. He will then help us create a little Tuscany here in SCV. I look forward to meeting many new friends, seeing some I have known for awhile, and making a whole new set of memories. Salute! A presto.

    First and foremost, I would like to thank you all for the kind and loving words. It was my pleasure being the hostess to such a wonderful group of people. With that said, what a wonderful night had by all! I am looking forward to spending another enchanting evening of pairing wine with food, people and conversation.

    WOW! What else can anyone say with such a great time from beginning to end! Being treated like royalty by our lovely hostess, Lisa, and that talented guy she parties with, Doug. Boy, Doug, did you you hook onto a real gem with Lisa! Everyone brought a varied Italian wine and they were all delightful, including some great whites and bottle after bottle of phenomenal reds. Doug promises to take pictures of all the bottles and post them with comments. Guests brought all different types of Italian foods & we were especially treated to phenomenal cooking from a purebred Italian chef. Fight-on Gonzalo spent some time before his USC game and left us with several of the largest and tastiest steaks I have ever seen, both of which were cooked to perfection, both inside and outside on the barbie, by our restauranteur-chef from Italy! We partied with some of the nicest people with whom you could ever want to spend time, with some like Martha driving from as far away as Ventura! The mural rocks!
