Wine Tasting - Ugly Christmas Sweater Night

It's Back! Friday, December 20th is Ugly Christmas Sweater Night! Break out that Holiday Sweater that you wouldn't wear ANY place else and put it on. Chances are good that it will fit right in. Who knows, it may even win a prize!

Sample 4 different wines this Friday for $10. Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything.

Wine: Tastings will be $10 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you.

Glasses: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!

Food: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.

Parking: There are several public parking lots nearby the Coffee Connections Annex. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Please do not park behind the annex as I need access to the back doors for setup. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street out front.

Code of Conduct: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussions because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.

Extra Wine: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine.

Queen of Hearts: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies and clowns. Bring your cash as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic.

After the lights go out: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.

Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.

The End: This will be our last event at the Coffee Connections Annex. We are grateful for the overwhelming generosity over the years. However, as Coffee Connections has grown and they are no longer able to host our events. Our search will continue to find a new home and while we were hopeful that Firefly Winery would get back to us.... crickets.
