Dear Colleagues and Friends,

We hope that you can join us for a wine tasting event and seminar to benefit the Potomac Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind.

The event will fund outreach programs for blind youth, seniors and working age adults. The deadline to RSVP is Tuesday, February 27, so we can provide a final count to the organizers. Drop ins that day will not be accepted due to limited space.

The details:

 National Federation of the Blind Wine Tasting Saturday, March 3, 2018 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Cost:  $45 per person.  Please make checks payable to PC-NFB. Cash and credit cards are also accepted.

This year, our wine tasting has an exciting Spanish theme.  A variety of Spanish wines will be offered along with pairings of fine cheeses, chocolate, crackers, and breads.  An expert on Spanish wines representing Bistro 360 wine bar, shop and restaurant in the Rosslyn/Courthouse area will be pouring and explaining the wines.  Each wine will be presented in a relaxed lecture format with plenty of time to enjoy each wine, mingle, and socialize with friends.

 If you have always wanted to learn more about wine or just wanted to expand your horizons, this event will be a great time.
