Meditrinalia Day
On my Meditrina throne!
One of my favorite events of the year is Meditrinalia Day. Every year we have a gathering in honor of Meditrina, the Roman Goddess of wine and health and also the namesake of our wonderful red blend. This year was a special year because we got to celebrate with our Club members in our new Garden Room. It was a beautiful Autumn day, with the sun shinning and crunchy leaves on the ground. The whole vineyard was just starting to change colors. A lot of members showed up for the event. It was so great to be able to have people enjoying themselves on our new deck while they mingled and sipped. We decorated everything in red, and made it a “Go Red for Women” focus, and got to pass out red pins for the American Heart Association. We passed our Meditrina glasses, and had yummy cheese and fruit trays for all to enjoy. As for me, I was exactly 36 weeks along in my pregnancy, and this was the last event for me this year. I tried to stay off my feet as much as possible, but I am just too much of a social butterfly to be able to stay put. Michael Brown, our Hospitality Manager, made me a pedestal out of Meditrina case boxes. One of our Club members, Pam McAllister took this picture of me on my Meditrina pedestal. I felt like a goddess up there. I just love our events. I always enjoy getting to see the Club members and playing catch up with them and their lives, as well as. Meeting new members and getting to know them. It was a great day, I hope everyone had as good a time as I did.
