When some friends and I came up with the idea of starting a wine club, Lazy Dad Philip’s response was, “Oh, so you’re finally just calling bunco what it is?” That is one perceptive man!

Wine club is a group of friends that get together once a month. We rotate hosting duties. The hostess picks a theme and provides all …
