Oktoberfest at Dave & Donna's Place

Greetings, Wine Friends!

Dave & Donna invite you to their home in Mesa (Signal Butte & Baseline) on Saturday, October 28th at 6:00 PM for our Oktober IN event!

The theme of the event is Oktoberfest! Thinking about "Oktoberfest" brings to mind lively crowds in Bavarian attire, communal wooden tables covered in checkered tablecloths, steins of frothy beer, and overflowing platters of hearty German delicacies. But we don't need to go to that extent to celebrate Oktoberfest - our Arizona version will be a casual, sensory journey with German food and wine, to which we raise our glasses. Prost!

What to bring – Food and Wine
Wine – At least one bottle per attendee. It can be German, but if you find something that goes better with the food you bring, anything is welcome. If you are bringing a guest, bring two bottles! The wine that you select should be something that you enjoy and trust. If you like, include a note on the bottle about what inspired your choice. This can be location of purchase, cost, invoked memories, or all of the above!

Food – Please bring a dish, along with serving utensils. So that we don't have too many appetizers, we also need volunteers to bring mains and side dishes as well! Mains can be soup, casseroles, or even Instant Pot meatball and pasta yumminess. Please post in the event chat what you are bringing so that attendees will know what categories need to be represented.

RSVP and Directions
RSVPs will remain open until the event starts, but only those who have RSVP'ed by the Friday before the event will receive the address. If you have RSVP'ed and don't receive directions, contact one of the organizers - we won't leave anyone stranded :) You are welcome to bring guests but please include them in your RSVP as well as providing the appropriate amount of food and wine. We will be monitoring messages on Meetup so if you have questions or get lost, let us know!
