SUMMARY:Varietal Hour – Adriatic Wine (Not South Africa\, France or Spain)
DESCRIPTION:If you haven’t heard of our Varietal Hours by now\, now is your chance to check it out. Because of the success we are having on our change to Tuesday nights\, we are greeting new Members every Varietal Hour. And now that the OC Fair is in the rearview mirror\, we are starting up right away. \nThe Varietal Hours are FREE. Sure\, you say\, nothing is free\, and if it is then it’s not worth my time. Au contraire\, my friends. What started as a way of gathering during the COVID-19 quarantines has blossomed into quality time with friends\, both old and new. And the things we have learned and been taught by this group are priceless!\nSo here is our challenge to all of you: If you haven’t already attended one of these Varietal Hours\, please attend one. Yes\, just one. We promise you three things: \n1) You will have fun\n2) You might just learn something OR you might teach us something\n3) You won’t regret spending that hour of your life and you won’t even have to drive home \nSo as we enter the fall lineup of events\, we invite you to join us. Your own comfortable furniture. A glass of wine in your hand. Chatting with fun friends\, some you know\, some you may not. Right there in your own house with friends\, old and new. And here’s the best part: You don’t even have to clean up everyone’s mess. We’re always happy to have new members join the fun and meet some people who enjoy wine. \nEach event has a theme\, but we never “kick anyone off the island\,” so it never matters if you follow the theme. The setting is very casual\, with stories told about each of the wines we’re drinking\, what we do (or don’t) like about them\, where we got them\, and more. Regardless of your knowledge of wine\, the Varietal Hours have something for everyone. Varietal Hours are held 7 to 8 p.m. every other Tuesday. \nAll you need is a computer (or phone) and internet connection. If you are new to the Varietal Hours or to Zoom\, please feel free to contact Don Phillips at don@OCWS.org. for help and information\, even if it means contacting him days before the event\, and he will walk you through the process and even do a short Zoom meeting\, just for you\, to get you comfortable with the process. \nThe event is open to all OCWS members\, but sign-ups are required. Please log on to the OCWS website to register for the event no later than 7 p.m. the Monday night before the event. Couples only need to sign up for one person since this event is via Zoom. A link for the Zoom meeting will be emailed to you on the day of the event.\nWe also invite anyone to host an upcoming Varietal Hours. It’s fun and easy to do. Please contact Don at the above email if you wish to host\, or with any questions or suggestions. \nWe look forward to Zooming with you soon at one of the future Varietal Hours. \nCheers!—Don Phillips\,\nOCWS Varietal Hours Chair
