ROTARY WINE APPRECIATION FELLOWSHIP - BEST OF FRIENDS

 
The first-ever Rotary Wine Appreciation Fellowship at the local level – Best of Friends Chapter – was held on September 18th at the RedStone Winery in Beamsville, Ontario. It was a “sold-out” event with 31 Rotarians, spouses, friends in attendance.  The evening involved hors d’oeuvres and the tasting of five new RedStone wines.  At the end of the evening, a cheque was sent for $165 to Polio Plus.
 
Save the date - Our next event will be on November 20th at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club – wine tasting and food. Details to follow.  Later in the Rotary year - a dinner with wine pairings … or a wine tasting plus dinner (still working on it) in Western New York, probably in late March.  
 
 
The local chapter of the Rotary Wine Appreciation Fellowship has three objectives – to have fun, keep administrivia to a minimum, and to gain a better understanding of fine wines.  Membership is open to all Rotarians and spouses/partners/significant others. There is no local membership fee, but members should join the Rotary International organization ($25/year or $100 for a lifetime membership…which is the best value, especially for younger members!)
