Fellow Rangers,

For many of us, our love affair with wine goes beyond just that odd bottle or two, so the idea of The Wine Cellar event at the Reunion was intriguing. Now we are making it happen! It’s an (optional) wine raffle of sorts.

Here’s how it works…..

Step 1 - Classmates who want to participate bring a bottle of wine (or two) on Friday at check-in, and up to Sat dinner check-in.

Step 2 - Hand in the bottle(s) to our appointed wine guardian at the check-in table and receive a special ticket, one per bottle.  HINT:  the more bottles you donate, the better your chance of winning!  Keep the ticket(s).

Step 3 - On Sat evening after dinner, a ticket(s) is/are drawn and winner(s) go home with a wine cellar

And Voila, your moments of savoring a new vino over the next few days, months, or years are guaranteed!  You’ll also have a built-in supply of gift-giving for future parties, unless you are protective of your special cache.

 

If you are interested in participating in this spiritous event, please email Julie Kipps at pvrezz@gmail.com or private message her (via her Classmate profile) on the website.  This helps us estimate how many bottles we will be managing/guarding at the reunion.  And, I'll keep you apprised on the bottle numbers as they roll in. 

N = 1000 currently.....not really, it's 19 which is still more than a case!  

Cheers!

 

**Please note, we are restricted from consuming this wine at the organized reunion events (due to WWL contract stipulations). 

Thank you for your understanding.  

Drinking it in your room, however, is allowed.**
