and enjoy wine and food. We also enjoy the good company of others who
also enjoy wine and food. Our group ranges in experience from, what
some might describe as wine snobs, to people with no wine experience
but who wish to learn about wine. Every level of experience is welcome
at the KWS events.

to be fun and educational. Events are open to all members and their
