March 2010 Meeting
On March 19, 2010, wine club was at Jen's house. The theme was organic / biodynamic wines paired with healthy food. Erica, Dee Dee, Ramona, Tracy and Jen sampled healthy appetizers including a veggie flatbread finger sandwich, green apple and walnut salad, raw veggies and hummus and hard cheeses. Most of us had not tried "healthy wines" (or at least remembered drinking a good healthy wine), but the wines that we sampled were surprisingly good, including:
1. Rare Earth Vintage 2006 Cabernet ($15 at Bevmo).
2. Sterling Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2008 ($10 at Costco).
3. Paso A Paso Tempranillo ($16 at Whole Foods).
All of the wines were made from organic grapes. It was a great night with some great friends!

The Story
Back in the summer of 2009, a couple of Venice girlfriends decided to start a wine club, which they named the Westside Wine Club ("WWC"), as all the members live in the westside of Los Angeles. Once a month, the club gets together at a girl's house, with the location rotating every month. The host chooses the theme and prepares food for the group, and each girl brings a bottle of wine in accordance with the theme. Then, they all get together for an entertaining evening of wine, food, and conversation. Previous hosts and themes:
