Updated 01/10/11 Hello wine enthusiasts and thanks for your interest in our group!  This particular meetup was originally started by French wine importer and educator Raphael Knapp.  While Raphael is still a member here, he now has a different group called "Return to Terroir," that you may also wish to join.  I originally joined this group to mingle and collaborate with other people in the bay area who appreciate continued education about wine.   I did not immediately adjust the summary for SF W …

In this club, we put the emphasis on pairing wine not only with food, but art, field trips, charitable causes, even the Blue Angels ("juice and jets"), which enhances a broader appreciation of the Wondrous and Wacky World of Wine in different settings.   Most people are content socializing in wine bars, and at least three other Bay Area meetups do only this very successfully once a month. But for those who want more than chatter over a glass of wine, we offer informal educational programs in a r …

Join, collaborate, & share, with fellow Wine Lover's near you for an enjoyable and relaxing social network of like minded individuals. Everyone is welcome, from new bouquet-sniffers to educated connoisseurs. It's our goal to end a year in this group having met new friends, found new wines and places, and learn from our fellow Wine Lover's. To attain this we all need to contribute initiative and participation in online discussions through the "Messages", regular events, and social discourse th …

Our name couldn't say it better. We love food, wine, chocolate, & travel. Join our local bay area events which range from eating out, chocolate & wine tastings, hiking, foodie events, & local and international excursions (of course we indulge in the first three on these bigger trips too!)

This group will consist of Wine Enthusiasts near you! We will have a monthly wine tasting in a fun social interactive environment.

Meetup meets Groupon/daily deals, but better. What’s better then great food at nice restaurants? How about enjoying it while meeting new people. What’s even better then that? How about saving 30% to 50% at the restaurants while doing all this. This group is first and foremost about discovering new restaurants and food, meeting new friends, and enjoying an evening in a fun and casual way. But why not also save money while doing it. We take the best of Meetup and married with the deal phenomenon b …

Meet up with other food and wine lovers to discover and share eating establishments in and around San Francisco. We go to anywhere from Happy Hour deals, hole in wall joints to upscale restaurants. Our events are more for smaller groups 4 to 8 members at a time where we really spend time to chat and get to know one another.

What food inspires passion and excitement in your? If you say, "chocolate," then this is the Meetup group for you. Meet with people who love chocolate? eating it, tasting it, trying it, cooking with it, and living with really great chocolate. Come to chocolate salons, chocolate tastings, wine events, cooking classes, chef demos, book signings (The Chocolate Guide, 2008), and other tasty stuff.

We are a group of women who lay across all the spectrums, we are the geeks, the jocks, the social butterflies and the shy girls, the girl who fits in everywhere and the girl who has a hard time fitting in, the women who like to keep it real, those outside or inside the norm. But most of all we are a friendly group of women who just want to hang out, have fun and enjoy ourselves without the pressure to fit into a certain mold. Come and hang out with us, be yourselves, in a judgement free social g …
