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!

About Kojo
Inspired by Natalia & Mark Levey’s world travels (part of the team behind the HI Hospitality Group), Kojo’s modern Asian menu, cocktail list, & premium sake collection has attracted the most discerning & sophisticated diners since its opening in February 2021.
We invite you to join us at Kojo for a truly delightful dining experience that goes beyond the plate. Indulge in the thoughtfully curated flavor profiles of the food, signature cocktails and premium sake selection. Our menu is dynamic, inspired by the ever-evolving nature around us. We believe that dining is not simply about satiating hunger, but rather about embarking on a sensory journey that stimulates and gratifies in equal measure. Allow us to be your new guilty pleasure as you savor every bite and sip.Culinary director: chef Hart Lowry
🍣🍸Join us at one of the hottest spots downtown. Upscale Asian fusion, beautiful atmosphere, great cocktails, sushi, bao buns, and shareable plates. Sarasota Magazine recently included it among the area's best restaurants.✨🥢

The Kings of Queen were formed by frontman Emo Alaeddin, whose remarkable vocal resemblance to Freddie Mercury inspired him to create a tribute dedicated to recreating Queen's iconic sound as faithfully as possible. Along with a talented group of musicians and vocalists, the band performs Queen's legendary catalog completely live.No backing tracks. No lip-syncing. No shortcuts. Every note, harmony, guitar solo, and vocal is performed live, delivering the authentic Queen experience fans know and love.
