On August 5th the Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma held their second annual wine tasting event. This event is fast becoming a popular tradition with our alumnae chapter for it's combination of food, fun and fantastic wine. We had over 20 alumnae gather at the home of Kim Hildred where we sampled a variety of wines, both red and white, from the Central Coast of California, Napa Valley, France and Germany. Sisters also bought a wonderful spread of foods to accompany the wines, including shrimp, salmon, a variety of cheeses, fruit and salads. Our wine expert, Kelly Magyrics, expertly led us through discussions on the wines themselves, as well as their regions and the best food pairings. As always, Kelly was a wealth of information.
A special thank you goes out to Gretchen Ehle, Christy Smith, Katie Vlietstra and Dotti Shields for providing the food and wine for this event.
We are looking forward to planning another successful wine tasting for the summer of 2008, so keep an eye out for details after the first of the year.

It was a great event (and an excellent way to celebrate my birthday!). Hope to see you all at the walk tomorrow morning!
