Barry's fall wine tour

 I got this a few weeks ago, thought I would pass it on. Never have gone myself, but do get good feedback from those that have gone.

  TOP 10 REASONS TO BE ON NEXT MONTH'S WINE TASTING PARTY TOUR, SEPTEMBER 22 TO 25!!!
 
10. It's the "10th Anniversary", so going to be a special one!  We are going during the Niagara Wine Festival!  You will be treated to a great evening of live music, wines, food and more!  The end of September is the perfect time of year, harvest time for the grapes.
 
 9. "Getting there can be half the fun"!  We have a deluxe, private 56 passenger motorcoach with all the comforts....washroom, comfortable seats, video for movies, music concerts, etc.  "Refreshments" served at the back of the bus!  No worries about drinking and driving during the 4 days!
 
 8. Our accommodations: We are staying at a very nice hotel, well located in Niagara Falls, close to lots of things you will want or want to see.  It has a great bar/nightclub right off the lobby! 
There is also a very nearby motel for those who might like an even cheaper wine tour package price!  (See below).
 
 7. You will get to visit and explore 9 wineries in 2 wine areas....the Bench Wine Region and the Niagara Peninsula.  Included will be several tours and many, many wine tastings!  You will learn lots about wine production starting in the vineyards all the way to how to appreciate wines and much more....everything from grape to glass....so very educational too!
 
 6. Package price:  If you are one of the next 10 persons to book....$100 deposit (tour is now two-thirds booked), you can still take advantage of a low package price...$429 plus tax (double occupancy) staying at our hotel.  As well, I will throw in a winery BBQ lunch complimentary! 
Or, if you want to stay at the motel about one block away, your package price will be $339 plus tax (double occupancy).  These are great prices for a 4 day / 3 night getaway like this one with all the inclusions I have put in there this year!  You can also ask about single occupancy if you have no-one to travel with.  I would be pleased to try to match you up with a suitable roommate.

Barry's beer on Bank

It's the turn of Bank in the Glebe to get torn up - replacing 100 yr old pipes so a major job. But supposedly businesses all still open, the main issue being parking now.

Barry is hosting another of his patio parties at the MVP Lounge on Bank tonight (June 1). The pub is small but the patio large, nice place to sit and relax and meet old and new friends. And hopefully escape before that hockey stuff starts! Details below.

January mingling

Passing this on from Barry - this month's Mingleworks. These are fun.

_____________________________________________________________

Just a quick reminder to come on out on Wednesday between 5PM and 9PMish for some great "mingling" and social networking with friends and maybe new friends to be, music, price deals on cocktails, wine, beer and appetizers, complimentary chips and salsa, invites to other things and never a cover charge!
Why not invite along a friend or two.  If you have not been before, the address is The MVP Lounge on Bank at Clemow in the Glebe.  Lots of free area parking.
Hope to see you there.
Barry


Barry's MingleWorks is back

FYI - MingleWorks is a social gathering that has been run off and on by Barry for a number of years. Good chance to mingle comfortably, nibble some munchies, meet interesting people, and perhaps sign up for a trip or a cruise. Here's the invite he sent out...

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Yes, after many months, "MingleWorks" is back and here is the invite and information.  For those of you who have never been in the past and don't know what it is, MingleWorks is an "afterwork social networking cocktail party", always held on the first Wednesday of each month and always at the same location.  Whether you are single or a couple, it is a great opportunity to get out once a month and "mingle" with friends and meet some new ones.
 
The location is the new MVP Lounge, 683 Bank Street in the Glebe, corner of Clemow.  It will start at 4:30 - 5PM and go until about 9PM.  Some people will head over directly from work; others may prefer to whip home, freshen up and come over then.  There is quite a bit of free parking in the area.
