THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER 7 November 2019 Solo Sisters By CANDY FERGUSON Solo Sisters really know how to pick them S olo Sisters, Charbonneau’s premier women’s singles group, enjoyed a unique hap- py hour in September. We had a wine tasting party! Normally on the second Wednesday of the month we go to a local restaurant and enjoy hap- py hour. However, in September we met on the patio of the Charbonneau Country Club on a beautiful, sunny, end of summer day and enjoyed a hosted buffet of heavy hors d’oeuvres followed by a blind tasting of three white wines and three red wines. The purchase price of the wines ranged from $2.99 to $25.99 and offered a wide variety of taste and quality. The winner in the white wine category was a 2018 Chehalem Chardonnay with a 90 point rating — available at Costco. The winner in the red wine category was Two Buck Chuck with no rating — available at Trader Joes! The white Two Buck Chuck, missed coming in first by just two points. I guess we la- dies really know our wine! The next six happy hours will be held closer to home in Wilsonville, Aurora and Canby. We will finish out the year with a holiday party in the beautifully decorated Fireplace Room at the CCC. In 2020 we are expanding our interests by having a trip to Spirit Mountain Casi- no, more afternoon bowling outings at Wilsonville Bowl, challenging our golf- ing abilities while playing miniature golf and enjoying a spring hiking excursion at Silver Falls. By the summer of 2020 we hope to solidify plans for outings on the Spirit of Portland and the Jet Boat. If you are a single lady looking for a friendly group of like-minded women, we would love to have you join us! Please contact Deanna Morgan at deannamor- [email protected], and she will be happy to give you more information.
