Looking Back...

At the WRS Kocktail Kibbitz, we enjoyed learning about a variety of red wines from different countries, which appeal to different tastes and why, and how to enjoy them with cheese and chocolate. Long time congregant and Bay area wine judge Sid Sall shared his knowledge at this very special tasting.


A live stream visit with Lucy Adlington, author of

Four Red Swesters, was enjoyed by many WRS members last month.
