CAN YOU FIND THE BEST WINE UNDER $30?!

Join the search party! Our Wallet-Friendly Wine Challenge was so successful that we are hosting another round. Last year we had eight competing wines at tasting stations, complementary hors d’oeuvres, and invited donations to a local charity. It was a HUGE hit.

Contestants will bring their favorite wine for under $30 (we’ve adjusted for inflation!), all attendees will sip, enjoy, and VOTE on their favorites, and the winner will go home with a special (slightly more pricey) bottle of wine and bragging rights (the ultimate prize). We will also be having a raffle for even nicer, definitely-over-$30 bottles of wine that have been donated by the wine aficionados among First Parish’s members and friends.

A house wine (selected by Robert Jones!) and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Dress is festive casual. The minimum donation is $25 per ticket and all proceeds go to Family Promise MetroWest (see below). It’s a fun night that benefits a good cause and you won’t want to miss it. Game on to find the best bottle of wine under $30, just before the holidays.

CONTEST RULES

Contestants must bring at least three (3) bottles of their favorite wine that retails (no special discounts or sales!) for $30 or less. (You must provide receipts proving how much was spent per bottle!) All those in attendance will taste the wines and vote for their favorite by written ballot.  Click here to register as a contestant.
