STUDY GROUPS
Bacchae
Bacchae met on Sept .14 at Folino’s Estate Winery for a delicious lunch and discussion. We enjoyed some of the wines with lunch but didn’t rate them. A highlight of the afternoon was provided by Myra Jones who shared stories and pictures with us about the adventures (and some “interesting” challenges) that she had recently on a trip to Tanzania where she visited and helped at a school for orphans. Because she also had the opportunity to take a safari trip, she managed to take pictures of a variety of exotic animals, especially the giraffes.
Our next meeting will be at Myra’s house on October 12 at 3:00pm. JoAnn Kelly will serve as co-hostess. We will be tasting and rating wines from a European country/countries of their choice. Any questions? Contact Phyllis Wargo Any questions? Contact Phyllis Wargo.
2nd Thursday of a meeting month (no December meeting) at 3:00pm for all months except January/February when the meeting will be at 7:00pm on Zoom. Group tastes and studies wine in all its aspects. New members welcome.
