For the Love Of Wine “FLOW” ๐ โค๏ธ๐ท: The concept is simple. Groups of up to 8 to 10 people (couples or individuals) are put together for a 6 month period, very much like AHHH or Dinner on the Town groups. The focus? Local wine. Each month, one couple in the group organizes an event with wine the star of the show. It could be appetizers at your home with everyone bringing their favorite red wine, or perhaps the taking the group to your favorite winery for wine tasting. Maybe you organize a blind tasting of Merlot, or ask your group couples to bring an east side wine, or make it a “bubbles” night.
The goal? Socializing in small groups, making new friends and enjoying North County’s unifying life blood – wine.
