Member Patrick Hamilton suggested we do a tequila tasting, so he met with the owners at Camarones (formerly Garduno's) in Gainey Village, and set up this great deal:

Our January Happy Hour will be in the Rat Pack Lounge at the Central Grille - a new venue in an old location - where Contemporary American cuisine meets classic styling and music reminiscent of the famed Rat Pack. Central Grille, an old school steakhouse, features prime grade steaks, fresh seafood, and an inspired wine list. Their executive chef Bruce Griffin III is the former sous chef at the AAA Five Diamond dining destination Kai - so you know it's gotta be good!

Can you believe we're at the 3-year mark already?! What a fun trip it's been so far! Let's celebrate with a California wine tasting at Crush'd - coincidentally, the same space where we originally held our first meeting with just 5 attendees (though the spot now has a new name and different owners). We will be tasting 5 wines (1 white and 4 reds, 2-oz. pours) for $15 payable to the winebar that night. The wines we taste will be available by the bottle at a 10% discount.
