Event fee

$5.00 per person

This month we are tasting our way through a variety of white wines and pairing them with picnic fare. I will be providing the wines while attendees bring over a picnic dish to share!

This event is a great way to try various white wines we've tasted in depth in the past. You'll be able to taste the differences between the white wines and learn what pairs better with different dishes at the potluck dinner.

To attend, please RSVP and submit your advance payment via Paypal or email me for alternative arrangements. The $5 event will go towards:
- wines provided
- prize giveaway given to a lucky member at the end of the night.

**The meal served will cater to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. If you RSVP and have any specific allergies or dietary restrictions, please email me or indicate your allergies/dietary restrictions with your RSVP.**
