confession time

Confession time: 

I do not really like wine. 
Yet I am in a wine club ... and I enjoy it!  

May Wine Club

I just cannot get over the taste of wine or beer. 

I think this is mainly caused by the fact that I did not have my first sip of alcohol until I was 26. 

So, I did not do the high school or college partying. 

I never acquired the taste for it. 

Like the majority of people in the world, 
D really enjoys wine. 
One of our close friends (Ivy) does as well. 
D and Ivy would talk about different wines all of the time, 
so they talked about starting a wine club.

Wine cub consists of D and I, Ivy & her boyfriend (Ryan), 

and Ivy's best friend (Cate) and her boyfriend (Barrett). 

And I have to tell you it is a lot of fun. 

We meet once a month and try 3-5 different wines each month. 

We have themes and everything ... 
if I am being honest coming up with the themes is my favorite part of wine club. 
I am an event planner at heart! 

Out of the 20ish wines we have tasted over the past 5 months, 
I have liked a total of ... 1 of them. 

And by "like" I mean "could probably finish a glass." 

June was a really fun wine club. 

The theme was Beer Club for the start of summer. 

We tried nine different beers and I actually liked 2 or 3 of them. 

Pretty good record.

D and I have discovered, through trial and error, that I am more of a whiskey person. 

October is whiskey month .... yay! 

More my Speed! 

For me wine club is definitely not about the wine. 

It is about getting together with friends, having a good time, and getting to hang out with other couples. 

I was a tiny bit skeptical at first because I did not know Cate & Barrett well, 
but they are quickly becoming good friends. 
As you all know, I do not do well with new people. 

Having "couple" friends is new for me and a lot of fun at the same time. 

Next month wine club is at my apartment 
and the theme is Red, White, & Blue wines for July 4th. 
I am so EXCITED! 
Fourth of July is my favorite holiday of the year. 
The only problem will be keeping my planning under control! 

Linking up with Kathy!
