So due to a few requests, I'm resurrecting these wine groups. The three previous events were huge successes in the sense that everyone had a great time, lots of great wine was drunk, and we all met some great expats.
In another sense they were a bit of a failure. When I was imagining these events in my head, I was envisioning a rotating event that moved through the homes of the participants. The point being to share the not insignificant financial and logistical burdens of hosting. The reality was most of the "expats" who showed up were just temporary residents, and didn't have space ample for hosting, couldn't, or simple wouldn't be here for the next one.
I'm not complaining, I met some great people at these events who are now back in their home countries. For that reason I'm not going to say, "You can't come if you're a short termer", please do come. At the same time I'm going to really beg that a few of you permanent residents try to come. Alex_H has already graciously offered to host #5 so the proverbial ball is starting to roll.
Vital Statistics:
Who: First ~8 Expats to send me a PM.
What: A gathering of connoisseurs and winos involving tasting and chugging fine wines. Wine drinking experience suggested but in no way necessary.
Where: Casa de Philip located in southwest Balvanera. I will PM you the exact address and how to get here.
When: Thursday 26/5 from 730PM till the wine is gone.
What will be here: Stemware, Hors d'oeuvres, Screwpulls and big Terrace where we can drink and be merry.
What to bring: 1 red wine in the AR~120 price range, yourself, a smile, and any additional food you may desire
Hope to see you all next week!
