Wine and Conversation

The experiment of connective conversation over wine went well enough to try again.

Last month we learned Tom was asleep at the same time as Farrah Fawcett. Julie cooked the juiciest Thanksgiving turkey ever by keeping the giblets in the bird (meaning it was raw). And Alana, who went to culinary school, struggles to say the word spatchcock.

So join us if you dare for something interesting. We’re going to play games and dig under the surface of things. The rules are three simple ones. 1) Be authentic, 2) Be vulnerable, and 3) Genuinely give a shit.

Let’s talk a Christmas or Holiday memory. See you there.

A quick note to mention what to expect so there are no surprises. Because this Meetup event is an experiment. Unlike a typical Meetup event, where you’re encouraged to mingle. I’m going to give you guys deep conversational prompts for when we get started, then randomly break you up into groups of 4 +/-1. That group is with whom you’ll spend your, um … detention time? … talking.

I'm trying to do one Weekend Wine tasting per month...and December is of course the holiday season which means everyone has a lot to do. I'm going to Essex Studios on the 7th with the Creative Society/50+ singles groups for a meetup; Santacon is the 14th and a couple of meetups are doing that. That leaves Saturday the 21st, which seems close to Christmas (which is Wednesday)...but maybe everyone will have a lull in the schedule and what could be better than being laid back and enjoying a few nice wines with some friends.

Fine Wine O'Clock (6223 Montgomery Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45213)
This is a nice little wine shop located in Pleasant Ridge. Just two blocks north of Ridge Rd. on Montgomery. They are open to 11PM and they have a food menu of appetizers that are appropriate for wines. Parking is on the street, but it is easy to find a spot there.

Their Website (https://finewineoclock.com) shows-
- Wine Flight of the Week $15.00 Taste of 4 wines / 2oz serving per wine
- A glass of wine here starts in the 7 dollar range - so they seem to have some reasonable prices.

I will contact them a few days early to tell them how many people I think will show...so please RSVP is for those who plan on attending.
