Wallet-Friendly Wine Challenge – Join the Search Party!

  • Date: Friday, January 20, 2023
  • Time: 7:00pm9:00pm
  • Location: FPCW Parish Hall

Can YOU Find the Best Wine Under $25?!

Join the search party! You’re invited to a festive post-holiday wine tasting (with a bit of friendly competition) and collecting donations to benefit a good cause.

Contestants will bring their favorite wine for under $25, 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-$25 bottles of wine that have been donated by the wine aficionados among First Parish’s members and friends.

The raffle and all ticket donations will benefit Family Promise MetroWest, a local non-profit organization that provides emergency housing to homeless families and helps them to transition to a more permanent living situation. Click here to learn more about Family Promise.

A house wine (selected by Robert Jones) and festive hors d’oeuvres will be served. Dress is festive casual.

We are requesting RSVPs if you plan to attend so we can plan appropriately for the appetizers and house wine (we don’t want to run out!). Email Robert Jones (RJones@FirstParishWeston.org, or click the button below) to let us know you’ll be joining us.

Please RSVP!
