Can
you host a small group wine tasting? This will consist of 8-10 people with a focus on a particular
style or type of wine. Jay Bileti has donated a tasting kit that we will either loan out to members or set up some education
classes on wine tastes/smells. We'd also love to have events set up at your favorite local restaurant - ask the
manager and let us know! Tucson's summer restaurant & wine season is going to be great! There are tremendous
offers that the club's members should participate in. Watch for email updates on these opportunities. |
