Wine Tasting / Kids Night Swim a Great Success!

With the dog-days of summer upon us, we couldn’t pass on the opportunity to beat the heat with an Association get-together at the pool. Even though temps hovered in the low  90’s, the turn out for the August Wine Tasting Social / Kid’s Night Swim was spectacular.

With Big Tree Market providing delicious, hand-prepared finger foods and ALPHA residents providing a very eclectic mix of local wines, more than 40 people turned out for an evening of fun and camaraderie under the stars.

New ALPHA homeowners and others who’ve been here for years had a chance to talk, share stories, and get to know one another in the relaxed, informal setting of the ALPHA pool. Kids were able to swim in the 79 degree water and the adults were able to sample various wines from as many as a dozen local vintners. It was a great time had by all.

This is an event we hope to continue next year. The only thing that would have made it better is if you were there!
