This group is for the general public to enjoy wine and socialize. Whatever wine you like is OK here, because this group is not for the wine industry or the "wine expert" snobs. The organizer is not part of the wine industry and does not take money or gifts from the wine industry, e.g., no web site sponsors. Therefor, we don't promote or push any wine brands on our web site. We only go to nice QUIET uncrowded venues. None of our photos are of paid professional models, just us. Our wine meetups ar …

We put ideals in practice. A lot has happened ever since I first started, what used to be Idea Contest 2.0, back in April 2007. My latest venture is called TheGlint and some of the events we'll be organizing resonate with what Idea Contest 2.0 was about and what Idealism in Practice is. The logo's photo has a CC license and was taken by Sebastià Giralt.

… Similarly, and pursuant to the Meetup.com TOS, the copyrights to any images uploaded by members of this group to the group’s password-protected online photo album remain the property of the photographer.

… BTW, when you sign up, you must include a PHOTO of YOURSELF (you can email it to me if you don't want it posted).

… Please include a personal photo in your profile, if you feel comfortable posting one online.  It's nice to see what members look like!  However, a personal photo is no longer required to join our group. Please only sign up for meetups you can attend.  Restauranteurs often set aside space for our groups; it is unfair to arrive with significantly fewer diners than they expect to see.  Members who are 'no shows' or who repeatedly drop out only a few hours before a meetup may be removed from the gro …

… - If you are inclined to organize a group photo, please do so! (Post photos to our Meetup page. Instructions can be found in the Bulletin Board section.) - If you plan to attend a Meetup, RSVP early. This has a proven contagious effect. And the more the merrier. - Consider introducing yourself if you see someone new or someone whose name you don't yet know. This helps create community. And community helps create a safe, fun and active group. - If you're new to socializing with …

You wear your Chuck Tailors more often then high heels.  Sarcasm and irony are part of your repertoire.  You're classy most of the time but love a little trashy here and there.  You love the Tonga Room/Medieval Times/The Madonna Inn because they're all so ridiculous. You partake in the 5 dollar lunch buffet at the Gold Club whenever you get the chance.  Your tongue is sticking out in 75% of the photos you're in. Asia SF is a highlight in your past nightlife adventures. You typically find yoursel …
