I love Supper Clubs. What’s better than a big group of people who love food and wine, getting together and sharing these two things? The price.
The price per person for your typical Supper Club gathering is minimal compared to a typical food and wine evening out on the town. Restaurants or caterers can offer lower prices since they are feeding everyone the same thing, and also feeding a larger group.
You can find some amazing food or great conversation at a Supper Club.
Last night, for instance, I partook in a Dan Lucia’s monthly Tues night Supper Club. For $35/person plus a donation of wine-my friends and I had plentiful food, wines, music, and conversation. I saw fellow wine industry folks, local business owners, and even bumped into some Michel-Schlumberger wine club members who (surprise!) had brought a bottle of our 2004 cab to complement the braised beef, mushrooms and polenta.
A good way to spend a Tuesday evening, no?
Another of our favorite places to eat: Santi (www.tavernasanti.com) has a Supper Club dinner on the last Sunday of each month. They focus on a different region’s cuisine for each meal and with 5 courses at only $45/person there are less good reasons to stay in for the night……….
Look up your local Supper Club today……..or let us know about a Supper Club you are part of!

Hi
I live in San Jose. so close, but Supper Clubs here seem to be dance clubs.
I didn’t see a wine dinner or byob dinner is the bunch. What you describe sounds wonderful. If I can only find one…

Steve-
I didn’t find a Supper Club in SJ for ya but here’s something that looks cool:
Wine Tasting Party — Food and Wine Pairing
‘The Loft Bar and Bistro has Wednesday night wine and food pairings……… Every first Wednesday of the month Loft in San Jose invites local wine makers to the restaurant and offers a great lineup for Wine Tasting. From Cabernet Sauvignon to Pinot Noir, wine lovers are sure to be delighted. Ask a manager to help with Food and Wine Pairings to enhance the dining experience and enjoy a personal California Wine Tour’.
If you like it-maybe you can be the first to suggest Michel-Schlumberger wines to them:)
Also-why not start your own supper club? Get one other wine loving friend and start with a small group at someone’s house where everyone brings a bottle of….for example: Piemonte region red?
