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.

April Wine Club {at my apartment} |
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!

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!
