Once a month my friends from JMU (James Madison University in VA, where we all went to undergrad) and I get together for an official wine club! We started these nights back in March after our friend's bachelorette weekend in Virginia Beach where we all discovered that we really are a bunch of winos! Two girls host each night, and they pick a country or region as their theme. Last night's theme was Spain and Latin America. Everyone brought a bottle of wine from either Spain or any Latin American country. My friends, W and A hosted and they made delicious Spanish tapas for dinner! It was fabulous! They also made amazing sangria, one red and one white. I had quite a bit of the red myself, and it was absolutely fantastic. I really need to get that recipe!
It was so much fun to catch up with each of them since we don't all live in the same dorm or within a couple of miles of each other anymore. I love this tradition because a) we each get a turn to put our entertaining skills to use; b) we drink lots of wine; c) it's so much easier to catch up when you aren't at a loud bar where it's impossible to hear each other; and d) there's always lots of laughing!
