Considering the draught, fires all over the state, one of the highest state income taxes, the constant threat of a major earthquake and Jerry Brown as governor...I won't miss California. The Villages is like Disneyland for adults!

An in-home wine club is fun and makes for a great social event. The makeup of a wine club is simple. A good wine club consists of twelve couples. Each month a different couple will host a wine tasting party. The host gets to choose the type wine to be sampled (Merlot, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, etc.) Each couple brings a bottle of wine from the host's selection in a brown paper bag. Each bottle is numbered and the tasting begins. Each person rates each wine tasted from 1-10 and places their rating in a bowl with the number of the bottle they sampled. At the end of the tastings the host will add up the points to determine the winning bottle and the paper bags are removed from the bottles. Often couples bring the same brand of wine and it is fun to see the different ratings for the same wine. Usually the host couple will serve a desert at the end of the evening. It is a fun monthly experience. I was in a wine club in the Northern California wine country for ten years and always looked forward to our monthly wine club meeting.

We are moving to TV in October and would love to form a wine club. No wines are sold, only tasted so TV should not object to such a club. Anyone interested in joining such a club please respond with a private message and we will put you on the list. Looking forward to our move to TV.

When my wife and I arrived in TV 2003, we joined a wine club that held dinners at Glen View Country Club. As I recall they were 4 course dinners, approx $35 per guest, and with each course the chef and a wine expert would present the course explaining why the particular wine was being served. We stopped going for awhile due to other interest at the time. Several months later wanted to join again and it had disappeared. Really enjoyed the dinners and the wines. Glen View did an outstanding job presenting. Love to see this type of wine club introduced somewhere.

There was a wine club back in 2008/2009 because I would buy their wine at $3 a bottle. They would use empty wine bottles from the bars, clean them, and add their label. I think the $3 just covered their expense. Wish I had kept one of their bottles. I remember the wine was pretty good.

To Rivergirl409: We are not promoting recycled wine. We are ambassadors for a major California winery that makes premium wines that we will introduce to TV.
