This is a little off topic, but might be of info for some to start a "local"
wine club.

Here at our local parish church, we have started a wine club about a year
ago, to enjoy each others fellowship and knowledge of different wines. We
have received a good response from our community as well.

Our lead moderators are a restaurant owner and manager and they supply the
wine that is being discused that month. It could be reds, or whites, or by
country or regions.

Everyone is encouraged to moderate each month, which gives a person a chance
to research the wine they would like to talk about, then they contact the
restaurant owner who in turns purchases the wine for that month's topic.

We charge $5.00 at the door for tastings, then they sell off any half
bottles and usually they bring two or three of each wine to sell to us at
their cost afterwards.

Likes: Assorted cheeses and crackers accompany our meeting and a jolly good
time is had by all, as we learn about the world of wine each month.
Friendships are created and our club is now up to 14 attendees.

Dislikes: that we have it ONLY once a month.
