Bring your Valentine, if you have one, or just yourself and your smile. We invite you to participate in the Masumola Club meeting on Feb. 8, an early Valentine’s celebration of friendship, love, food, chocolate, wine, and Masumola-style community.
Hosts Shannon and Mark Nunlist, Mac and Karen Swan, Doug and Joyce Crosby and Carrie Sood ask that you please RSVP in the next few days so that they have numbers when purchasing food. Please respond to this email: macswan44@gmail.com. (Should you forget to RSVP, don’t let that deter you from attending!)
Hosts will provide a tomato-based seafood chowder as a main course and bread.
Program begins at 6 p.m. “Exploring the middle shelf: A wine tasting to discover the best of the reds and whites without breaking the bank.” Gerry Browning, past owner of the Vine & Tap and wine connoisseur, will lead us through a tasting. If you plan to participate in the wine tasting, please bring one bottle of either a white or red wine that can be purchased locally for between $9.49 and $14.49. You will have the opportunity to blind taste varieties, and winners may emerge. Even if they don’t, it sounds like a fun activity. Right?
Dinner will commence following or during the program. Please bring a dish to pass, your utensils and your favorite wine glass. Suggested food distribution: A-M chocolate desserts; N-Z salad or appetizer.
We will have a playlist suitable for dancing to wear off some of those calories. We encourage you to put on the dog and join us at the Masumola Club to celebrate and enjoy each other’s company.
