About us
Hello fellow wine lovers!
We have been managing the group for over five years now and what fun it has been!
We are a group looking for members that truly want to become part of the family and share what life has to offer!
We do all sorts of different events so please do read the details on each event thoroughly.
Most of our events will either require a pre-payment as we will be purchasing tickets or paying venues directly.
Our casual small dinner reservation events will also require a pre-payment to hold your spot which will be refunded to attending members. This is an attempt to eliminate no-shows and have full capacity at our events. Some higher end venues will charge $50 to hold spots so I will increase the amount in those instances.
NOTE: In order to attend events held in private homes (cheese, chef du jour and the like) members must have attended three previous public venue events.
There is an annual fee of $15 to cover the $400 annual fees we incur from Meetup. After covering the Meetup Fees I promise I will spend every dime on items to raffle at events!
