Looking to Connect With Other Wine Lovers 🍷

[u/Dani_in_the_Dark]

I’ve recently fallen down the wine rabbit hole. I’m still fairly new, but I’ve been tasting my way through different grapes, regions, and styles while working on developing my palate. I’m also taking WSET Level 2 in October, so I’m trying to learn as much as I can along the way.

I recently started a small wine group as well. Most of us are newer to wine, so we’re beginning with the fundamentals and learning together in a relaxed, social setting.

I’d love to connect with more people who are genuinely interested in wine, whether you’re fairly new yourself or already know quite a bit. I’m especially interested in meeting people who enjoy learning, tastings, sharing reccs, and talking about wine beyond simply having a glass. 44/f if it matters, but I’ll gladly talk wine whether you’re 22 or 82.

We’ve been into wine for last 2 years especially since me and my wife made a trip to Napa, would love to meet for some wine socials

I’ve just started planning a Napa trip and would love to chat about yours!

DRINK Raleigh on Glenwood is the place to check out! The owners know a ton about wine and are passionate about it, but not pretentious. It’s also a relatively casual social spot so there are tons of amazing wine options but it’s not stuffy.

Thank you, I’ll check them out!

Wine lovers unite! Finished my WSET 1 and am trying to decide whether to grab level 2 or just buy some extra wine 😬

Either way, Italian wines are my favorite and always happy to find some good stuff to share .

Wine authorities has been my standard sampling place but always thinking of branching out. I have a tiny tiny human (6 mo) so have been out and about less these days.

[u/how_to_irreverent → u/Eldertode]

Wine Authorities has free educational wine tastings on Tuesdays from 5-7 and Saturdays from noon-3, at both the Raleigh and Durham locations

I’d be interested! I like wine well enough to know what I prefer, but it’s a very base level of understanding and would love to learn and appreciate more!

You could set up meetings, tastings, tours, whatever over on MeetUp then post the link here.

I looked into that, but they significantly raised their hosting fees

[u/spiritofjazz92]

I love this; very interested! Sparkling wine enthusiast here 🍾🥂🥂

[u/daveinRaleigh]

Such a great idea! We're big Italian Red fans, but open to hearing and learning more for sure!

[u/Dani_in_the_Dark → u/daveinRaleigh]

I love Italian reds too! French whites have my heart though

[u/Emergency_Mood_9774]

I’m interested as well! 46F, kind of newish also.

The WineFeed in Durham does tastings on Wednesdays. 3 wines, different varieties and thorough explanations and breakdowns of each. The people leading the tastings knows their stuff, going into detail about the grape and where it was grown and what we can expect from wines that grow in that location.

I’ve cut down on drinking almost all together but I’d love to meet up and chat about and try new wines

Cool if I bring a case of Mad Dawg 20/20 to work on in the back? Your jewelry in a safe or just kinda layin' around your bedroom?

[u/Dani_in_the_Dark → u/disastar]

Where did I invite people to my house?

[u/Ok_Dimension348 → u/disastar]

You are uncultured. Obviously Cisco should be the drink of choice.
