Hi All,

This event is still a ways away and though it is not an "official" meetup...it is an event for a VERY good cause...to help children and animals. In fact, VinVillage is one of the sponsors of this event, so we hope you'll attend if you can.

5th Annual "Spread the News" Charity Wine Social

I'm working to get our meetup special ticket pricing, so that will be posted as soon as its available.

It will be held at CBS Studios in Studio City and there will be lots of wine and food, so if you have no other plans and would like to help children and animals in need, then sign-up and we'll see you there!

Cheers, Rob

VinVillage has partnered with Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-San Diego, to promote their "Uncork the Cure" Wine & Food Celebration fund raising event on August 13th at San Diego Wine & Culinary Center!

We also have a FREE TICKETS CONTEST offering over $500 in free tickets to this grand event. Get details at "FREE Tickets Contest".

The event has an incredible list of Wine and Food partners, so you won't want to miss it! See details below.

Click for details: "CFF-Uncork the Cure"

Join us at the San Diego Wine & Culinary Center on Thursday August 13th from 6-9pm to sip fine wine, savor great cuisine from San Diego's finest restaurants, and raise money to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic Fibrosis is a fatal genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of 70,000 people worldwide. There are also 10 million silent carriers of the cf gene. When the CF Foundation began, few children with cf lived to attend elementary school. Thanks to the research and care supported by the CF Foundation, the median age of survival for a person with cf is now almost 38 years old. Although great progress has been made over the years, it is not good enough. There are still too many people who do not make it to that average age.

This year's “Uncork the Cure” will include an exclusive VIP experience, complimentary wine glasses with personalized engraving, live jazz music, and unique silent auction and raffle opportunities.

VinVillage Members get special $10/off Tickets on VinVillage.com

Try to support this VERY worthy cause.

We hope to see you there!

This is a bit last minute, but for those interested, it should be a fun time...a BLIND WINE TASTING for only $10 + a bottle of wine from the SoCal area.

Bring your blindfolds and a bottle of Southern California Wine (south of L.A.) to Sea Rocket Bistro on Thursday, July 30th at 7pm.

For only $10, Sea Rocket Bistro will provide you with a variety of appetizers as well as the glassware to try everyone's blind contribution. There will be prizes for the top two winners in each category (red and white) in the form of restaurant gift certificates, as well as the chance to meet other fellow wine enthusiasts and discover a new local favorite.

Come see what Sea Rocket is all about and test your local wine savvy. Remember, these wines should only come from the lower half of the California, and if there's a tie for the winning selection, the wine made geographically closest to the bistro will win!

ATTENTION: Space is limited!!! To save your spot you need to RSVP on their Evite page HERE.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers, Rob
