My life was immeasurably enriched last fall when I was invited to join a group of women that appreciate quality wines. They are mild-mannered women by day, several in public service professions while caring for spouses, children, and elderly parents. Brought together by a shared love of good wines, this secret society of wine girls quietly yet faithfully meets regularly to share and critique a myriad of foreign and domestic varietals and blends. Particular favorites for the SSWG are locally produced wines of Midwest origins.
As we meander through the offerings of the evening, the conversation floats between humorous stories and shared concerns. Between speaking of the plight or fortune of friends and family is woven comments about the nose of one wine or the finish of another.
We routinely visit wineries, separately or together.If you are a local vintner, don't let our friendly, comfortable demeanor disarm you. We are seriously critiquing your wines.Given the richness of our shared knowledge about midwest wines, it seemed right that this blog be maintained to record our experience. Follow the Secret Society of Wine Girls as we sample our way through Missouri and Illinois and beyond.
