Morris County Wine Club

ABOUT OUR CLUB: An Introduction in 6 Parts

1 DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You enjoy wine but have never really ventured out of your comfort zone. You know what you like.... but you would love to find new wines that you could enjoy just as much, if not more! Maybe you just don't know much about a wide range of wines, and it would be perfect to sample several with friends trying new wines while enjoying dinner at some of the best BYOB restaurants in Morris County. If any of this resonates with you, Morris County Wine Club is something we think you'll really enjoy.

2 WHEN AND WHERE WE MEET:
Unless scheduled otherwise the group will meet on the last Thursday of each month January through October at interesting BYOB restaurants in the Morris County area. During the months of November and December meetups will take place only if there is sufficient interest and will be scheduled so as to not conflict with the holidays.

3 WHAT TO BRING:
Purchase and bring with you a $15-25 bottle of wine that you normally wouldn't buy, but you're interested in trying and sharing with the group. All attendees to the meetup are also required to chip-in $2.00 so we can pay Meetup.com's fee for having this group on their website.

4 WHAT TO EXPECT:
We will be setting up a table for the wines. Place your bottle on the table for sharing. At most events members will order their own food from the hosting establishment, which will be a BYOB restaurant. Menu variety and minimal order requirements, as well as payment options are at the discretion of the hosting establishment. As we choose different BYOB restaurants and cuisines from month to month this provides a wonderful opportunity to experiment with wine pairings. Meet people, taste new wines and enjoy yourself.

5 YOUR RSVP IS VERY IMPORTANT:
Take your RSVPs seriously! We do!  When there is a wait list you are taking what could have been someone else's spot, and restaurants rely on having an accurate customer count. So out of courtesy please have your RSVP up to date within 24 hours of the meetup. Cancelling with less than 24-hour notice is counted as a No Show. Two of more No Shows and your membership may be cancelled.  If an event has a Wait List, members with previous No Shows will be bumped to the Wait List in favor of members who have always honored their RSVPs in the past. Attending an event without an RSVP per these guidelines is unacceptable and could subject you to immediate expulsion.
