So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Starting Your Own Wine Club

By Dustin Faulkner


All over the country, wine clubs are springing up and not just because of the fondness for wine, but it's also because of the need to discuss subjects that we like.

More people are becoming interested in wine and how to choose them since it has been deemed good for our health by medical experts. Wine is priced for every pocketbook. Just because a wine is less expensive, doesn't mean it won't hold up in taste to the priciest ones.

Because of the increase in the popularity of wine, starting your wine club won't be difficult. The basic idea is to find others who are also interested in wine and pick a time and day that you can get together on a regular basis - usually once a month.

You need to select a leader to plan the meetings and get things going. Putting the word out to others about what you're doing is the next step. Choose members for your club that will be reliable in attendance and passionate in their devotion to wine.

Don't start with 10 members when you begin the club because it's better to limit your membership. If you have too many members, the possibility of developing a close camaraderie with others in the club will lessen.

When it comes to suggestions for monthly wine selections, they're readily available from online articles about new wines and wine enthusiast magazines. One person can be chosen to be in charge for gathering the wines. Later, you can split the bill.

A nice selection of wine glasses is also needed. Even if they're expensive, it's important for each person to have their own glass for each wine you've selected.

From online wine clubs, there are great selections of wines at great prices that are being offered. You may want to begin with some good domestic wines. Find out all you can about the vineyards, grapes and production methods used for the wines you've selected so that you can discuss it at the meeting.

It's important to focus on the wines' educational aspects. Some of the things you'll need include rating charts which you can find online, at wine shops, or wine magazines. The characteristics of the wines will be rated by each of your members. Then, you can compare them to see if you all agree.

Gathering in groups and discussing subjects of interest is a natural process for human beings. There is so much to learn about wines that your club will never be at a loss about what to discuss and learn. Go ahead and enjoy yourself.
