What we’re about
Are you a wine lover looking for like-minded people? New to the world of wine and interested in trying and learning new things? Just want to grab a glass with some good food and great conversation? This could be the group for you!
Let's explore the options in the Sacramento area, from urban wineries, to fancy wine dinners, to checking out a restaurant with a great list. Oh, and brunch. There will definitely be brunch.
Membership dues are $5/year, but you can try us out for 30 days before paying dues.
All are welcome, though 21+ is a must. Wine consumption is always optional.
No-show policy: Please be respectful of others and change your RSVP to "no" if you cannot attend an event. If you no-show three times you may be removed from the group.
Sparkling wine is one of the most joyful drinks on the planet, whether you're toasting a big win or just surviving another Tuesday. And every wine region around the world has put their own spin on sparkling wine, from the classic Champagnes of France to Spain's vibrant Cavas, Italy's elegant Proseccos, and even Japan's surprising and delightful sparkling wines. Who’s in for some bubbles?
🍷 What to expect:
- To make sure we get a nice variety, please select a bottle from this list.
- Once again, we’re going for education 🎓
- Read up on what you’re bringing so you can share a bit about it with the group. If that makes you nervous you can tell Suzanne what you know and she will share it for you!
- To ensure we have enough food, we’re asking for a $10/person fee.
🏠About the venue:
- We’ll be tasting in Karen’s lovely back yard in Woodland.
- The address will be shared with attendees the week of the event.
