We'd love to help you navigate through the first steps into this fascinating language. If the weather allows we will meet outside (see indicated location). Please bring your own beverages and food. There is a public toilet nearby. 我们每周二晚上七点在火车站附近的某个餐厅聚会，一边吃晚餐（已吃过的也可以只喝一杯），一边用中文聊天。本着开放原则，参加者资格和话题不受任何限制。 我们特别欢迎各位华侨、华裔和来自中国的留学生参加我们的活动，扩充我们对中国的了解。不见不散！ 天气允许的话我们在外面聚会（请参考所颁布的地点）。此时请安排自己的饮料和食物。附近有公共厕所。

*Strategien & Werkzeuge für zukunftsfähige Geschäftsmodelle* Um innerhalb der planetaren Belastungsgrenzen zu leben und zu wirtschaften, sind Suffizienzstrategien unabdingbar. Dies stellt Unternehmen im Kontext eines Wachstumsparadigmas vor spannende Herausforderungen. Im BusinessLab analysieren wir diese aus verschiedenen Perspektiven und entwickeln Antworten auf die Fragen: Wie können Unternehmen zur Transition zu suffizienten - also ‘ressourcenleichten’ - Lebensstilen beitragen und inwiefern können sie selbst suffizient agieren? Mit welchen Strategien und Gouvernanz-Modellen können sie dabei profitabel bleiben, und wie profitieren sie gar selbst von Suffizienzstrategien? Gemeinsam mit Expert:innen aus Theorie & Praxis erkunden wir die Möglichkeiten unternehmerischen Handelns jenseits des Wachstumszwangs.

Not everyone wants their first Dinner Exchange experience to be walking into someone’s home full of strangers. So we’re starting easier - by meeting for a relaxed apéro at Vergani (Löwenplatz) on Friday, 20th March at 19:00. Nothing too structured, no pressure, just a relaxed chance to meet a few real people who enjoy cooking and then having people around their table at home. You’re welcome to join, especially if you’ve been curious about hosting but would rather get to know people first before inviting them to your home. We’ll keep it simple: Vergani serves great wines and nibbles that you will be able to order at the bar and then mingle with the future hosts. Dinner Exchange is a growing circle across Zürich and the surrounding region where people take turns hosting small dinners in their homes. This apéro is simply a low-pressure way to connect before the next tables fill up. Come for a drink. Stay as long as you like.

As Time is precious, we do not want to waste it in too loud bars. TheWooden Fire will inspire the conversation, as this is only with classic music in the background and a nice glas of champagne or wine in your hand... There is [the Chattam house rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham_House_Rule) in place.... Please bring your manners and willingness to share your experience, and for sure your afternoon will be not wasted. Was good wine, champagne, cheese plates, swiss fleischplatte and vegi will be served I ask a fee of 10 SFR so your good decision to join is followed up with good taste...

Every year we host a tasting to try German wines from the new vintage, with a focus on Riesling. Our host is Phil Bernstein, General Manager of MacArthur Beverages, one of the leading retailers of German Riesling in the country. Every year, Phil brings some of the best wines of the vintage. The new vintage is 2024, another in an increasing string of very good vintages, though regrettably the first to be carrying the increase in wine tariffs. Mosel Fine Wines says that “2024 is a must-go-to vintage for lovers of classic and ethereal Mosel lightness and elegance!” Vinous Media found that the German wines of 2024 are “sprightly, sleek, concentrated Rieslings with exquisite verve and full aromatic development.” Here is your chance to try the 2024s from some of the very best producers! **DATE**: **Friday, March 27th, 2026.** Doors open at 6:30 pm; tasting begins at 7:00 pm. Registrations are due by **Monday, March 23, 2026.** **VENUE**: **King Farm Community Center, 300 Saddle Ridge Circle, Rockville, MD 20850**. The Shady Grove Metro station on the Red Line is right across 355. The Red Line King Farm shuttle bus runs from there on a route passing the Community Center until about 7:30 pm, every 20 minutes, though if returning by Metro you would need to arrange a ride to the station with another guest, get a cab or walk (about 20 minutes to the station). **THE WINES**: (vintages are not listed for all wines from 2024) **Welcome Wine** \- NV Loosen “Dr\.

For the month of March, we will visit a new winery to me...Three Creeks Winery. Weather permitting, we will be sitting outside, but we will play that by ear. Please bring your own fold-up chair in case there is not a space large enough for our group. We will make one! Their website mentions shade trees, but I do not know if they will be available. Outside food IS allowed, but they also sell charcuterie boxes, cheeses, meats, bread sticks, crackers, chips, popcorn, and chocolate. I hope to see you there!

Hi everyone - apologies but I'm pushing the planned March 11 event back to April 8. I'm hoping a large group can make it out that night, so am upping the limit to 12. We had a wave of late cancellations for March and which isn't fair to Verre, they are giving up other business to accommodate us and the group got too small to be viable for them. Please only RSVP if you are fairly certain you can make it, as this late change of plans isn't fair to the group or the host restaurant, thanks. **EVENT STARTS AT 6PM. PLEASE BE PROMPT.** 🍷What is blind wine tasting?🍷 You use your sense of smell, sight, and taste to try to deduce which variety (grape) is in the glass. This group is very experience-diverse and we welcome both wine newbies and wine pros (and everyone in between). Verre will pour us two wine flights, one white and one red (3 of each, so a total of 6 wine samples) and we will discuss what we are tasting to try to solve the mystery together. After each flight is a big reveal where we find out just how right (or wrong!) we were. Diana will let us know the possible wines we are going on grid tonight. Please arrive at **6:00pm**. The white wine flight is served around 6:10 and the red flight around 6:50. The cost will be about $15 per flight, depending on what is poured for us. Food and other wine will be available for purchase as well. 🍷RSVPs: Verre has a limited amount of table space and is reserving much of that space for our group. Out of consideration to the business, the event hosts, and anyone on the wait list, **please edit your RSVP as soon as possible if your plans change** and you can no longer attend the event, **even if you are on the wait list**. 🍷Transportation: * METRO: Verre Wine Bar is walking distance from Courthouse metro. * CAR: Metered street parking and paid garage parking are available in the area. Hope to see you there! \~Pete Waitlisted Friends! \*PLEASE\* keep an eye on this page and your messages especially close to the day of the event. Thanks!
