What's Happening

[Brad Ballinger]

This thread will serve to point to eGullet Calendar entries that are of interest to our members. Mary and I will control the content of what is in this thread and what goes on the calendar in accordance with the eGullet Calendar and Events Policy.

We're looking for wine events to post in the eGullet Forums Calendar.

*Charity events

*Wine tastings

*Industry events

*Educational Classes

If you have an event to suggest, please contact me or Mary (Rebel Rose) by PM or e-mail.

Please include the following information to enable us to post the event on the eG Calendar.

1. Title of the Event (I believe we are limited to 40 characters)

2. Starting Date

3. Last Day (if a more than one day event)

4. URL(s) if applicable.

5. Price of admission (if any)

6. Open to the public (or restrictions)?

7. Summary description of the event

With enough advanced notice, we can feature a thread in this forum that will give some general background information to a topic that is the focus of an event, and then have follow up posts in the thread from those Society members who participated in the event. For example, with enough notice regarding the November 24th Chateau Musar tasting, we would've been able to start a thread on the uniqueness of Chateau Musar and its wines, and those who participated in the event could share their experiences. You get the idea.

Thanks!

Brad
