Food & Wine Pairing: Success!

Our June event was a great food and wine pairing held at Jessica's home in Arlington. We had 8 great winos attend, each of which prepared a dish. We had a wide range of dishes from crostinis to flank steak to asian bbq. Seems like everyone had the same idea by bringing a savory dish paired with a Sauvignon Blanc. Needless to say, everything paired perfectly. Check out our pics below (taken by Emily Neifeld):

The spread



8 winos and 10 bottles!

Rose on the Roof

What better way to ring in Spring than sipping Rose on the Roof! Last Thursday, some veterened Young Winos along with some new faces all gathered at a condo rooftop near Chinatown for conversation, snacks and a wide variety of Roses.

Everyone brought a bottle to share. Luckily, we had a range of wines from New and Old World, different styles and different shades of pink! We all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and it was great to meet some new potential Winos. We hope to see you at the next one!
