Time to TAILGATE.
Did you know that the first reported "tailgate" was right here in Virginia? Spectators brought food and libations to watch the first battle of the Civil War right down the road at Bull Run in 1861.
Tailgating, as it has since become known, was later resurrected for the first football game between Princeton and Rutgers in 1869.
Just because you have to forego plates and utensils while you watch two rivals duke it out in an epic battle doesn't mean it shouldn't be properly paired with the right wine. Please join us as we sample typical tailgating fare with wines at Seed to Tail.

We meet to taste and learn in a group setting so that we can enjoy the experience together. Please give the presenter your full attention and respect your fellow enthusiasts during the tasting, everyone will have an opportunity to ask questions and make comments after each pour, and plenty of socializing time after.
Q&A to follow as well as general discussion about the wines.
Hope to see you there. Let us know if you can attend so we can have a good idea of how much wine we need.
