The Hoboken Cafe 

Any interest in setting up a casual, non-pretentious
wine tasting group? I was thinking of setting it up
as a floating location, everyone bring a bottle of something
they like, bring your own glass. A good chance to try
different wines, meet people... perhaps we can merge
this with the "networking" meeting that people seem to
be interested in.

Suggestions for a name for this wine tasting group are
welcome, preferably a name that is a bad pun.

That's a very cool idea. My roommate and I host a yearly wine tasting party and we always come away with some surprise favorites.

I would definitely be interested - I was out with some friends last night and was saying that I would like to get to know more about wines - what better way than tasting them!?!

I like your idea. Also, FYI, I'm the person who's trying
to promote networking with our fellow Hobokenites.

Let us know if (and when) you'll be organizing a wine tasting event.

I'm all for that. I have recently gotten one of those
wine basics books. I like wine but don't know squat
about what wines are good or bad.

I'd be interested...you can never know enough people in Hoboken. Sounds like fun:)

count me in. I love wine and sharing with friends or new people.

Wine tasting group is a very good idea--count me in!

Let me know when the first meeting is arranged.

i'm interesred

Sounds like fun to me, too! I don't know much about wines but I would love to know more. Let me know when! Or if anyone wants help organizing it I'll do that too.

I'm game, too! Sign me up!

I'm kinda allergic to wine, but like the idea of everybody bringing a bottle & meeting up.

Cocktails as well / instead?

I would like to do it too. I was once assistant to a sommelier. So I know something about wine, not everything! Don't ask me endless questions, please! But I think it sounds like a good idea for a maybe monthly gathering?

How about "Hoboken Hobos"

Virile Vintners,
Jersey Jrunkards,
Smelly Sommeliers,
Virgin Vinos,
Whining Winos,
Wino Vino,
Bunch of Gropes,
Wine light-waiters,
Hobozos,
and
Spits or swallows.
