Fort Collins Wine Club Wiki

What's this club about

We're not wine snobs. We're just looking for those who are interested in trying every kind and price of wine. My thought is, let's meet once a month (possibly every two weeks after the initial meet-up), pool our money, say twenty dollars per person per meet-up, and going down our list of members each get-together, one member at a time will decide (limited only by the amount of money in the pool), what wine we will all taste that evening. No regard to age, creed or color: come one, come all, as long as you aren't there to orate or patronize (on any subject), although sharing any friendly knowledge or experiences you have had with wine should make for some enjoyable between-sips conversation.

The club was organized by Mare and Bill at: ftcwine@gmail.com in January of 2008. You can join the mailing list. You can send a message to all members at members@ftcwineclub.com. Postings by non-members will be moderated.

We try to meet at least every month, changing up between public location and individual homes. Check out our EventCalendar for upcoming MeetUps and TastingEvents.
