In previous posts I have outlined the general function of a wine club. The monthly host chooses the type of wine to taste, not the brand. Each member chooses their own brand to include in the tasting competition. Our affiliation with Wilson Creek Winery simply allows us to include the introduction of their wines as an added attraction to the social function. We also will have special food paring broadcasts from Wilson Creek available from time to time. Based on the volume of interested wine lovers, there will be several different wine groups meeting monthly in the Village Wine Club. Each group should have no more than 12 monthly hosts to allow each member to share in hosting a monthly get together for their individual group. This allows the wine club to continue growing while remaining a fun social function. In my Las Vegas wine club, we had karaoke, fun games, a blackjack tournament and music entertainers to name a few as part of the evening presented by the monthly host. I always looked forward to the next month's wine tasting meeting.
