| Definitely Not The Nick Lewis Wine Tasting |
| Even though Nick and Judie are in London, we couldn’t imagine a year without their annual wine tasting, so we have decided to carry forward the tradition. The theme this year is Cheap Dates, where we’ll select a wine under $10 for each flight and see if we prefer it to more expensive wines of the same variety. You will learn a (very) little about wine, eat some nice cheese or other appetizers, and hopefully not have too bad of a time at our home in Glen Ridge. | 25 | 2 | 000050.0 | 50 | .0003E7 | 30 | 2/20/16 7:30 PM |
