Let's bring back the days when social networking was a cocktail party. This is a very casual meet up for those who enjoy wine tastings and good company. We will target inexpensive happy hour tastings in the Charleston area. It's a great way to break up the middle of your work week or start out your weekend, and expand your knowledge of wines as well. We encourage members to meet up at our tastings and then continue on to dinner or other activities as they wish.

This group will provide a way to hook into the local wine tastings around the area, and do some of our own. We will also do some social tastings, and perhaps even some private ones. The goal will be to learn about wine, socialize and have fun. It does not matter if you know a lot or nothing, this will not be an intimidating group. There will be some social wine tastings and some more organized, guided tastings.
