I'm in one. This past Thursday evening was the first gathering, and it was hosted by my fabulous friend Courtney who just moved to Chicago from NYC (by way of LA).
Her theme was Malbec, so 20 of us brought a bottle of Malbec in the hopes of discovering some 'go-to' labels and meeting new friends.

The idea is that everyone tastes all the wines but truthfully, I couldn't stop drinking mine - Finca El Reposo, Vintage 2007. This wine is from Mendoza, a region in Argentina that is quickly making a name for itself as one of the finest areas for producing Malbecs. The taste is velvety and rich with intense flavors of blackberry and spice. A wonderfully complex and balanced red wine that is extremely smooth... too smooth in fact =)
Can't wait for next month's gathering!
Wine clubs are such fun and you get to try some incredible wines and vintages. Enjoy!
