First rule of drink club is you never talk about drink club! Second rule of drink club is if you want to read about what we are drinking and doing you need to be on Twitter (#kcdrinkclub is their trending topic hash for the future) and you can read our local tweets at either @kcwineguy, @lab5702 or @eatkc!
Having said all that: Here are tweets from the first three (of the first five) events! Remember, tweets are listed from last tasted to first tasted (and the alcohol DOES play a factor in to my fingers and what they can do!)
