Jackbox Party Pack, Bottle Share, and FREE Wine Tasting Party

In order to have fun while staying inside during the colder weather, I will host a Jackbox Party Pack and Bottle Share Party, with an included FREE Professional Wine Tasting! We will play all our favorite Jackbox games, share some of our favorite and unique beers and other drinks, and have PRP Wine International run a wine tasting. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BOTTLE SHARE OR WINE TASTING OR BE FORCED TO DRINK ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO IN ORDER TO JOIN AND PLAY JACKBOX, NOR ARE YOU REQUIRED TO PLAY JACKBOX IF YOU JUST WANT TO DRINK! See later for a description of how a bottle share works if you are unfamiliar and details about the wine tasting.

I have all the Jackbox Party Packs (including the recently released 11) on Steam, so bring along your phone charger to carelessly join in on rounds of Fibbage and Drawful without draining your battery!

If you are not familiar with Jackbox Party Packs, they are a series of multiplayer games where up to 8 players at a time (and sometimes more with audience modes) use their phones to interact with a game projected on the TV screen. Each individual game takes approximately 10-15 minutes each. There is NOT an app to download; you simply use your favorite internet browser to connect. Popular games include Quiplash, a Cards Against Humanity inspired game where you make up the funny answers to prompts and vote on your favorites; Drawful, a Pictionary inspired game where everyone guesses what the drawing is and tries to fool others with their answers; and Trivia Murder Party, a trivia game where 8 souls enter, but only one escapes alive!

Depending on the number of people expected to join, I can have a second TV set up with Jackbox or my Gamecube, and even set-up beer pong and other drinking games in the kitchen to keep everyone included in something!

We plan on playing games from 6:00 PM until people go home, which can be after midnight. Can't make it early in the evening? Show up late! Can't stay late? Play a quick game and move on with your night!

To participate in the bottle share part of this party, bring along 2-4 cans or bottles of your favorite or unique beers, ciders, seltzers, mead, etc. We will share them by passing out small pours of what people have brought into your tasting glasses. I have plenty of of tasting glasses from years of beerfests, plus extra plastic cups, so simply bring your drinks and be ready to try various beers and other drinks!

The Free wine tasting is run by PRP Wine International. It is a company that runs wine tastings in your house, and I have scheduled them to come over and provide an 8 bottle wine tasting. The tasting will start at 7 PM, so if you want to join in the wine tasting, be here by then please! After the tasting is done, you will have the opportunity to order bottles of any of the wines we taste, but a purchase is NOT REQUIRED to participate in the tasting.

This will be a BYOB event. I will supply tortilla chips, salsa, and other dips and chips that I usually supply for these parties.

We will message out my address the day of the event to those who RSVP; we usually get all the messages out between 10 am and 2 PM. The general area of the house is on Vista Ave in the Grove, near the corner of Vista Ave and S. Boyle Ave; we are just a couple houses west of the patio entrance to the bar The Get Down.
