PADDLE EVENTS:
SWIRL, SIP, & SERVE PADDLE MIXER January 20th
All levels welcome! Friday, January, 20th 6:30 p.m.
Hosted by Jenny Creelman and Meghan Sheehy 

Every Good Party should include Wine and Paddle…so let’s have both! How does this work?

Bring 2 bottles of your favorite $20 and under wine (the 2 bottles should be the SAME wine). When you arrive, we will put one of the two bottles into a brown paper bag to add to the blind tasting. You will be provided with a scorecard. Throughout the evening, sample and rank each brown paper wine bottle you try. 
What Else Besides the Wine? Please bring a heavy appetizer to share!

Where does paddle come in?In between swirling and sipping, we will be serving up on the paddle courts in 30-minute random mixed-team matches.  If we’re scoring, that means there needs to be a winner right?

After several paddle and wine-tasting rounds, we will tally up the scores and announce the winning bottle of wine. The “winner” of that bottle will go home with all the secondary wine bottles brought to the party! A case of wine, for first place, and if enough people come maybe 6 bottles to second place.

Sounds amazing, how do I join??
