1/2 Price bottles (under $100) on Wine Down Wednesday!  

For those of you still reading... thanks!  I know this was a long posting - but I was SO happy to have so many people attend our 45th meeting!  I wanted to let all of our blog visitors know that if you have not been to Ruth's Chris for a burger - you need to ASAP!  We decided to go on a Wednesday to take advantage of a special deal Ruth's Chris has called "Wine Down Wednesday".  Every Wednesday, all bottles of wine (under $100) are half priced!  Amazing!  And - the BEST part of "Wine Down Wednesday" is the 1/2 priced Burger... seriously, a HUGE steak house burger for $7.50!?!  

Our 45th Meeting was our largest one yet!  20 people (plus three kiddos)!  The staff at Ruth's Chris were kind enough to set up a huge table for us out on the patio right next to the band.  We had amazing weather, enjoyed listening to a great band, and drank a bottle (or ten) of wine!  What a perfect evening!  Hope you all visit soon!
