A quick note about our club from our original brainchild, Jen B:

     When I decided to form our wine club, I had two goals in mind.  One, to expand my knowledge and experiences of wine and two, to share that experience with friends.  Although there were existing clubs I might have been able to participate in, I wanted to start with people who were enthusiastic but still novices.  The world of wine is so expansive, and I did not want to miss something because someone else had already covered it.  Over the past few years I think that we have only just scratched the surface of what there is to be learned about wine.  I hope we continue to expand our expertise and grow closer as we learn together.  Thank you and enjoy our site.
