🍷 Getting Started
Welcome to the Wine Appreciation Group
Watch your email for each event's date & place
A rotating theme each month (e.g. California Pinots)
Come taste with us
The Wine Appreciation Group gets together about once a month for a guided tasting built around a theme — a grape, a region, a style — so every event is a chance to learn something new and compare wines side by side. It's relaxed and social; you don't need any wine knowledge to enjoy it, just curiosity and a palate.
Each tasting features 8 to 9 wines, generally a sparkling to start, then a flight of whites and a flight of reds. Come to as many or as few events as you like — there's no commitment to attend every month.
What it costs & who can come
The standard fee is $25 per person, which covers the wines poured at the event. Premium or special tastings may cost a bit more — the announcement email always says.
Guests are welcome — you may bring a friend or spouse (male or female), and they pay the same per-person fee. It's a great low-pressure way to introduce someone to the group.
Events are popular and frequently sell out, so reserving early is the way to be sure of a seat.
How to reserve your spot
Everything runs on the group's email announcements — that's the key thing to know:
- 1Make sure you're on the wine group's email list so you receive each tasting's announcement. (New to the group? Contact the wine group leader to be added — see the main Wine Appreciation page.)
- 2Each announcement gives the theme, date, place, and cost and tells you exactly how to reserve and pay. Because events fill up, reply promptly to claim your spot.
- 3Show up, say hello, and enjoy the flight. Not sure how a tasting works? Read How a Tasting Works first so you feel right at home.
