Special: Beer Garden Round 🍻
Dear CTO Roundtable Community,
I'm happy to share that, outside of our regular event schedule, we're organizing a special CTO Roundtable gathering.
This time, we're keeping it simple: **25 seats in a beer garden, no panel, no agenda.**
Just a relaxed evening to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, share experiences, and learn from one another as tech leaders.
This special event is made possible thanks to our sponsor, **Stephan Schmidt**, founder of **[AmazingCTO](https://www.amazingcto.com/)**. Thank you, Stephan, for making this gathering possible.
We're looking forward to spending a summer evening together with great conversations, technology leadership discussions, good drinks, and valuable connections.
**Spots are limited to 25 participants**, so be sure to reserve your place early.
We hope to see you there!
Best regards,
Christoph
Beer 'n Mic: English stand-up with 8 comedians!

It's a match! Fresh craft beer and English comedy in one of Kreuzberg/Neukolln's coolest crart beer/cocktail pubs and performance venues Göttin der Weisheit.

But as we know in Germany, beer makes everyone equal. Drink, laugh, love, and well... get home safe. It's still a Wednesday, even in Berlin.

Located right by the Spree, this beautiful two-storey cafe features massive glass windows overlooking the river, giving us a wonderful waterfront view while we play and chat.

Wine Tasting - Newcomers Night
This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you.
**New Venue:** After more than a year on Norwich Street in Old Hilliard we have found a new home at The District's Club House. It's about 3 miles from the former location but is brighter and more spacious. See photos and map.
**SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events.
**OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome.
**Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything.
**Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge.
**Parking**: There are 15 visitor spaces along the North curve if you make a right hand turn after the first stop sign when you are facing the clubhouse. If all of those spaces are taken, there are 30 more visitor spaces across the back of the community (westerb edge) where the concrete wall separates the world from I-270. It's only about a 100 yard walk back to the clubhouse from there.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine.
**Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**

Sancerre
Bordeaux
New Zealand
California
Italy
TBD
Sauvignon Blanc is grown in nearly every major wine-producing region, with each area highlighting a different side of the grape:
* **Loire Valley, France –** Elegant and restrained, with high acidity, citrus flavors, and flinty minerality.
* **Bordeaux, France –** Often blended with Sémillon to add texture, weight, and aging potential.
* **New Zealand –** Bold and aromatic, featuring grapefruit, passionfruit, and fresh herbal notes.
* **California –** Ranges from lean, stainless-steel styles to richer wines with subtle oak influence.
* **Italy & Other Cool European Regions –** Focused on balance, freshness, and food-friendly structure rather than overt fruit.
America 250th Picnic!

Wine Tasting / Shark Week!
**Shark Week Kick Off -** In celebration of Shark Week (and to honor Nick's favorite animal, just after humans and bigfoot) we will serve shark themed wines and play the theme to Jaws in the background as our wittier members blurt out puns such as "I think we're going to need a bigger..." glass of wine...
Shark Week runs from **Sunday, July 26, through Saturday, August 1, 2026**. The eight-day programming event will air on the Discovery Channel.
**Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (cash or Venmo only please). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to.

**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning.

**Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum & Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies and clowns. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
