October Wine Night - Zinfandel

October 21, 2021

This was another great night - sure do love my wine club ladies!!   Zinfandel was a terrific month!  The lowest score I had (on a 0-5 scale) was a 3.  That is pretty great!  And the food was AMAZING for Zinfandel month.  What a perfect combination of dear friends, tasty food, and delicious wines.  Exactly what I want wine club to be.  




Food everywhere!  :D 


Joelean brought this delicious roasted squash with caramelized onions.  

Jennifer brought baked S'Mores

Dana brought these yummy burger sliders with the sauce

I made wings - teriyaki, honey mustard, and hot wings

Andrea brought Muffaletta Subs

Janet brought Tropical Salsa, Pam brought roasted red pepper dip, Julie brought her
homemade pear chutney and we  served it alongside prosciutto.  All so good! 

Debbie brought baguette bread with ham and blue cheese,
and of course there always has to be chocolate at a wine night!  :) 


Joelean had picked up these Halloween goblets at the dollar store and brought enough for all of us.
