South Bay Wine Lovers Club = AWESOME!

I went to my very first Meet Up Group around my area tonight, and it was an AMAZING experience.

I joined South Bay Wine Lovers Club several weeks ago on meetup.com because I have really taken a deep interest in learning more about wine and also wanted to meet others that shared this common interest. It sure is awesome meeting people who share your common interests and hobbies, and wine drinking/learning has sure become one of my hobbies/passion.

We had our very first meet-up tonight. Since it was a very first meet-up ever for me, I was nervous yet excited. The group organizer (I am going to leave all the names out here for their privacy) was so warm and welcoming, and right away, I knew I joined the right group.

She had all the wines, wine glasses, cheese, chocolate and menus all laid out neatly on the table, which was simply lovely!

Everyone who showed up was super friendly and just made for pleasant company! We went from fruity (very light white wine) to rich wines. Except the very first one, I savored each one and loved it! In total, we tried 7 different wines and pairng them with the right cheese and chocolate just made the tasting that much exquisite!!

I learned how much I love pairing goat cheese and blue cheese with red wine as well as dark chocolate! Cheese & Wine = priceless!!

I felt so happy tasting these delicious wine while socializing and genuinely enjoying people's company. It was definitely one of the best things to do on a Saturday night for me, personally.

I am looking forward to going to more wine tasting events and definitely being an active participant in this group!

I got so happy from the meet-up that I actually couldn't stop dancing in the car listening to Michael Jackson (duh, who else?)!!

I can't wait for the next meet-up!!!

My idea of a wonderful vacation would be spending the whole weekend (or even a week) discovering the wineries around the world and drinking wine while relaxing at the beach or in a beautiful cottage reading a book or enjoying a view while talking with my loved ones.

I can picture it already... :D
