                             Wine Appreciation (WAG)


         It was a lively night at the 9/12/2024 WAG.  The theme, I Heard it Thru
         the Grapevine, got everyone in a dancing kind of mood.  Matt Williams              NEW UNWRAPPED
         was the speaker representing both Elevate Winery and our skillfully
         crafted food tastings prepared by his staff from Gourmet                                           TOYS
         Garage.  Elevate was having a blowout sale, so each wine was offered at
         $10.00 a bottle!  You can’t beat that.                                         ($10 and greater in value)
         October will be Hallo Wine hosted by Rob & Angela Born.  The winery
         is Karmere Winery from Plymouth and it is the first time this winery will
         be attending a WAG event.  They have very good wine, with reasonable
         prices and fun, whimsical labels.  Please look for Sign Up Genius if you
         wish to attend, even if you just come for the boos!
         Toward the end of the month, I will be sending out an email to see if
         you’re willing to attend a meeting so we can discuss new WAG ideas,
