CAN YOU FIND THE BEST WINE UNDER $30?!

Join the search party! Our popular Wallet-Friendly Wine Challenge is back. Participate as a taster or one of our competitors (we have had 6–10 wines competing each year) and enjoy complementary hors d’oeuvres, with ticket sales & raffle prize donations going to Healthy Waltham, a local food pantry (more info below).

Contestants will bring their favorite wine for under $30, then all attendees will sip, enjoy, and VOTE on their favorites. 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 a local non-profit (TBD – details will be added 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.

RÉPONDEZ, S’IL VOUS PLAÎT

We are requesting RSVPs so we can plan appropriately for the appetizers and house wine — we don’t want to run out!

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. To volunteer to be a contestant, fill out a contestant registration or email Robert Jones.
