June Wine Tasting

[Barbara_Roy]

What better way to kick off the summer season, but with a neighborhood wine tasting hosted by Candace and Steve Bossay on June 2nd. And, yes. they did sell their lovely home and are downsizing for a big life changing event, but for now they are still in the neighborhood and looking forward to having us all over.

They live at 322 S. Rosemont. The evening begins at 7 pm for a brief meet and greet, then the official tasting starts at 7:30. This gives those young ones the chance to start their evening wine tasting with neighbors before the real weekend partying begins, and for those older neighbors, we can be home and in bed watching the news before falling asleep.

Please rsvp in this thread if you plan on attending and if you know what varietal of wine you will be bringing, post that as well. Remember, space is limited. The wine tasting is best with 24 guests, although 1 or 2 more may squeeze in. So, sign up early, as the tastings often become “fully subscribed”. Here’s how it works. Each couple, or pair of neighbors who have teamed up, brings a bottle of wine and a bite to eat that complements the wine. As the night progresses, you will introduce yourselves, your wine and your food and we eat and drink one wine and one food item at a time until we are all full and happy! It is perfectly acceptable to come alone with your wine and food, more wine for the rest of us.

What type of wine? Anything works. Bring something special or something you just found at the grocery store. While we all enjoy tasting the nice stuff, we also appreciate finding new inexpensive and accessible wines. On any given night, there is a wide range of wines, including whites, reds, sparkling wines, and dessert wines.

Any food home prepared or store bought is fine for this crowd. Some tips: Bring enough for about 24 tastes. If your food requires a utensil, plate or toothpick to serve, bring what you need (don’t count on the host having enough utensils or plates). Also, don’t count on the host for any special equipment. You should be able to warm your dish in the oven or microwave, but because of the number of dishes, do not plan to cook your dish at the host’s home.

If you have any questions you can email b.a.roy@sbcglobal.net for more information or call Barbara's Intergalactic Headquarters directly at 214.942.4043. We hope to see you all on the 2nd.

Another great wine tasting in the Heights. We had three sparkling, six whites, three reds and a port. We had salmon, and beef and cheeses and lamb stew and fruits and more salmon and crab cakes and chicken with cole slaw and stuffed peppers and beef tenderloin and ice cream sandwiches topped off with oreo cookies dipped in nutella. It was a night of heavenly treats. Thanks to all who participated and we hope to see you all when we kick off season seven in the fall.
