'Tis The Season!
Once again members and guests of The Wine & Food Society of Jacksonville gathered for their annual Holiday Wine Tasting event on December 14th. Two members graciously opened up their home which was beautifully decorated by Connie of Celebrated Occasions. They ensured everyone would have a great time by hiring a D.J. who enticed the group to dance..... after they had a chance to sample the wines and food of course.
