Valentine Evening with Hubbies February 2015

The unseasonably warm weather created the perfect evening at the home of Carolyn & Gene for an evening Valentine celebration. Twelve ladies of the WWW gathered at Carolyn & Gene's to celebrate the upcoming Valentine's Day on Friday, February 6, 2015. Husbands were in attendance for the occasion. Daryl's husband has yet to be seen so we're not sure she's even married!

The hubbies!

Ten WWW (and Carole's mom Delores) got together at Vicky's for a wine tasting presented by Wines for Humanity.  Six wines (exclusive to Wines for Humanity) were presented, paired with different cheeses and chocolates.  We all learned what a one ounce tasting pour looks like (except for Daryl :)  Carole D won a prize (a lovely wine pourer) for knowing the most wine related trivia!  And stop the presses - Christy found something she liked - and asked for more!!
