WineTimers in-between

So, no new meeting to report on as the WineTimers are not officially meeting until April 9th when Anna and Blair host a night with Spanish flare. We're all looking forward to that, but in the meantime, what are WineTimers to do? Well, the answer is go to local wine tastings! Several of the group have attended various wine tasting functions over the past 2 months. The events are nicely done and provide opportunities to support local charities through ticket purchases as well as the quintessential silent auction, found at all such events. For those of us who attend, we can agree that Karen and Jeff are the big "winners" at all silent auctions. They have collected numerous great deals and look forward to many more as the wine tasting season starts to wind down in April.
On Thursday March 25th, a few WineTimers could be found at the Taste of the Vineyards, a wine tasting hosted by WITC to raise money for scholarships. The event was held at the Nemadji Golf Course Clubhouse. Wines were provided for tasting by the Belknap, and Saratoga Liquor. We had a great time and thanks to the organizers who made this a success.
As an aside, Scott and Pam visited with acquaintances, Marv and Barb. After catching up on our kid's activities, we found out that they belong to a group of friends that call themselves "The Winers", and they make all of their own wine! Very cool. After talking with them, I saw a tremendous opportunity to have the Winers join the WineTimers for a meeting and talk about their winemaking process and possibly taste some home brew? We are going to work at trying to set this up for one of our future meetings-- should be fun, and informative...
Another opportunity for the WineTimers will be a future event held at Fairlawn museum. Karen and Jeff were all over this at the silent auction and got it with the support of other WineTimers, Bobbie and Frank, and Scott and Pam. This promises to be a fun event coming up in our future.
Let us know about other wine tastings. We're always up for a night of good friends and fine wine!
