Thank you to all who made the January 18 Soup Pair Bowl Wine Tasting Possible. We would also like to thank those who joined us for the first time; please come back a few more times and consider joining our group. 

The favorite wine of the night was Terry's home-crafted Dry Vignoles (which was no surprise to anyone who has tasted his wines in the past).

The next wine tasting will be the Wines of Love and Romance on Wednesday, February 12 at 7 p.m. at Evergreen Community Center. The presenter will be Alex Sebastian, wine educator and owner of The Wooden Angel restaurant. The Wine Cellar at the Wooden Angel has received numerous awards and Alex is often hailed for his all-American wine selection. Alex currently serves on the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board's Wine Advisory Committee. Do not miss the next tasting: it will be one to remember. Payment is required prior to this tasting to secure your spot. We will send out details about pricing and where to send payment soon.

All soups, wines, breads and desserts that were enjoyed during our Soup Pair Bowl tasting are listed below along with the prices and those who supplied them for the group. This was a true team effort to pull off and we thank all who helped shop, cook, and serve or had any part to play in this successful evening.

Please consider hosting a meeting. We are looking for a host in February and we will reward you with free admission to the tasting and provide you with a budget of $150 to provide accompaniments for the wines.
