We are a friendly, fun-loving couple that are incredibly passionate about good food and wine. We are looking for other couples who share this love so we can explore new restaurants together, have dinner parties, and conduct private wine tastings from our collections. Or maybe plan trips to wine country. How to tell if this is the right group for you: 1) You think nothing of driving across town to try out the latest restaurant opening. Even a weeknight is ok because you don't need a sitter and wh …

Many of these wineries are so small they don't even have tasting rooms, but you can taste them at Wine …
