According to their mission statement, Boston Uncorked is an active association of adults with an interest in tasting and expanding their knowledge of wines of the world in a warm, friendly social environment. They are founded on the premise of sharing their passion for wine with people ranging from the enthusiast to the curious. Boston Uncorked exists for the purpose of bringing people together to share their knowledge and/or curiosity in an environment intended to enrich everyone in some way.
Boston Uncorked offers its members a venue to learn more about wines in a comfortable social setting. Because of size restrictions at their event locations, they ask that everyone purchase a ticket in advance via their online ticketing system. On average the events cost $30-45. The ticket cost covers wine, food, service and administrative costs. Boston Uncorked holds an event about once per month.
The only requirement to Boston Uncorked membership is that you are at least 21 years of age. Membership is free and it means that you receive advance notification of Boston Uncorked events and have the opportunity to purchase event tickets online via their website, http://www.bostonuncorked.com/. We enjoyed our first Boston Uncorked event. We met some new people and saw some familiar faces as well.

hi Ken - would you terribly mind editing "Twisted Oak" into the names of each of those California wines...?-) thanks very much! - j
Hi Ken, Glad to see you had the opportunity to try some Twisted Oak wines, they're making some of the best Tempranillo in the state right now in my opinion. I particularly like "The Spaniard," especially the fact that it comes in an oversized bottle!
