Tastes Like Hipster- with a discount!
I'm finally going to a Hip Tastes event this Friday, August 25th in San Francisco- anyone want to join me?
Hip Tastes are wine tasting events held mostly in bars for young and beautiful people like you and I. They have different themed tastings for each event, such as South Asian food with Eastern European wines, new winemakers on the block, and organic wines.
This Friday's event is "High Rollers"- basically the good stuff: "Top shelf bubblies, Bordeaux and Brunello, assorted cheeses and charcuterie, fabulous dessert wines and truffles promise to whisk you far, far away from the mean streets of San Francisco to a wine & food hipster paradise worthy of your Friday night and a shamelessly small amount of dough." It's held at Lucid Gallery/bar, which has also been on my to-do list.
I mention all this detail because the Hip Tastes people will give ten bucks off the $60 admission (making it $50, pre-sale only) for readers of Cocktails with Camper. Ain't that nice? Just email info@hiptastes.com and tell Courtney that Camper sent you.
Let me know if you're coming and we'll air-kiss.

If I had some skrill, I would totally go to this, but mamas broke ya'll.
Did you end up liking this event?
I did. I took my friend Julie, who knows a lot more about wine than I (though this isn't hard), and she was very pleased with the selection for the price. (I think most of their events are less expensive anyway.) The crowd was small, but nice- in many ways it felt like a networking event as much as a wine sampling. Not in the 'let me give you my card' kind of way, but for an event with so many singles, it didn't have a singles' event vibe. Does that make sense?
"Like you and ME," not "like you and I."
Jeez!
