The Dublin Wine Meetup Group

Who We Are: We are wine enthusiasts in the central Ohio area. We are called "The Dublin Wine Meetup Group". We are grateful and appreciative of Steve Petrosino, Founder Emeritus, who started the group with a few Dublin locals in November 2006.  We now have members all over the city and in surrounding areas all over Ohio.

Join us to meet fellow Wine Enthusiasts near you! We have an even mix of married couples and singles. Anyone who loves wine is welcome to join our group. No invitation needed. Come to one of our local Wine Meetups to taste new wines; learn about attributes of wine; and discuss different vintages and estates. Everyone is welcome, from wine novices to educated connoisseurs (we have an even balance). We have a master sommelier in our group.

General Rules: Note: Men member MUST have a profile photo in which YOUR face is visible. This is for safety as well as helping members recognize each other at events. Please fill out the profile questions as well. Your membership will not be approved if the photo doesn't meet aforementioned criteria and the questions have not been answered. Day of Event and No Show Policy. We have a two no-show and your out policy. Also, you must update your RSVP the day before the event or be considered a "No Show". The event venue is typically planned a week in advance, with wines, food and staffing. Your late cancellation causes financial burdens on both the venue and organizer. So if you sign up for an event, you will be deemed a "No Show" if you fail to attend, or at least change your RSVP the day before, unless an earlier cut off date is set. Emergencies happen. PM the Event Organizer if unforeseen circumstances arise.
