Activity Chairman: Jack Waddell, chairman: assistant chairman TBD
Meeting Dates and Times: Second Wednesday of ODD numbered months at 6 pm..
Meeting Location: Rotating at member homes
Activity Description: Blind tasting event for wines in the $12 – 20 range. The expectation is that attendance will primarily be couples, although singles are heartily welcomed. Each member will take his turn as a host. In this group in order to insure an appropriate range of price selections and to avoid possible duplication , the host will select the varietal to be tasted and purchase the wine to be reimbursed by members at the time of the tasting. The Host will also make a brief presentation about the varietal he has chosen (see Wikipedia) Each couple or single attending other than the host will bring their own wine glass and a substantial appetizer (more so than chips and dip) as this will be in lieu of dinner . In all other respects the format will be the same as Winefinders 1-3 . Host will provide a modest dessert and coffee.
We will need a minimum of 10 participants to begin and have a goal of 12-16.
Members of other wine finders or cellar fillers groups are welcome to attend. If a large number of members are interested we will have a substitution roster.
Attend more than twice and you must expect to be a Host. If there is sufficient interest the first meeting will be held at the home of Jack Waddell in February 2015
Activity Costs: between $12 – 20 per couple depending on the mix of wines selected by the host + your cost of appetizer
Participation: Branch members, spouses/significant others and applicants for membership.
