WELCOME! Note from AlleyWoo. This has been a long process but it is finally here. Springfield Chill Wine Drink-

ers first newsletter. Or better know as, Its All About The Grapes. Yes it is. This

newsletter is will be the core of our group and the grapes for our start process for

events. My goal, vision, for this group is to grow into a national one and this newslet-

ter is one piece or the grapes of that vision.

I decided to do this newsletter as a way of keeping each and every member in

the know on the process of our group and how our group is functioning. It has been

hard at times to coordinate events and to get a feel of what our group would like to do

as a whole. I figured with this newsletter, I am able to write preview of events which

will give the members a chance to make a decision on if they will join us or just back

out. I can put out ideas for future events and see if the readers, well you, bit or just say

hell naw.

Last, this newsletter is YOUR newsletter. Ideas, pictures, events, and written

pieces are welcome. This group could not be what it is without you, the Wine-Os. And

neither this newsletter. Thank you! Now here we go! We officially launch the first

Wine-Os NEWSLETTER! YEAH (In my Kermit excited Muppet Voice)~

THATS MY BOO!-MUSIC

Like wines, music has many blends, depths, and arrangements to where you may not know what is worth listening (or like wine tast-

ing) or even buying. As and avid wine drinker and music lover, I would like to start the Alleys Music Corner. Here I will share links to

songs/videos on musicians and songs I feel should be heard. Yes, there will be some K-POP, but there will be more than just your man

ufacture, perfectly choreograph dance moves, with the heavy drowning of autotune type music. I want to give you music you may have

hear but afraid to admit you listen to it or music you may wanted to hear, but afraid to admit to your growing curiosity.

Turn to page 2 of our newsletter and I will begin your journey into the Boos world of music. Hold on tight because it maybe a long

journey. ~Allison~

As a wine drinker, I can say my

taste has evolved over the years; at my

age now, I am not one to drink, how do

you put it, wines that a 6 year old can drink

and say its just kool-aid. I drink wine

with depth, body, and taste, not a water

down version or kool-aid. With my taste in wine evolving so has my

taste in music. I have seen myself enjoying music with a darker,

deeper tune which I could honestly say, would not have listen to 10

years ago. But, on occasions I have a mind slip and forget my new

refine taste and see myself reaching in the cooler for that once ole

pleasure I use to crave, Boones Farm and this is seen in my taste in

music as well. That slip doesnt have any bad consequences, just

brings me back to the days where I was not worried about bills,

work, or anything. I was just happy and bubbly and lived life that

day for that day. Some of my music choices has reflect that same

care free attitude; hence my slight obsession with k-pop. Yes, those

who know me know my obsession knows it can be a little brain cell

killing at times, but I can tell you if you need a day to be overly hap-

py and dont give a crap because there is sunshine and rainbows

shooting out your butt, then k-pop is the way to go.

Not all K-pop is bad, there are some artist who have a deep-

er depth to their music than just the same cookie cutter overly sweet

music that has defined K-pop. But for this first music corner I want

to introduce to you the k-pop music that puts a smile on my face and

the artist you can tell, if you dig, have a deep depth to them but are

modeled into the K-pop generic brand. I also want to introduce you

to my adult self when it comes to music, the what I say deep red

cabernet style of music that I found one weekend trolling youtube.

GirlsGeneration or SNSDLet me tell you, if you are looking for a group that will

make you smile and dance this is it. Girls Generation or SNSD

have been out since 2007 and they are a group that oozes K-

pop. They are a nine member group who each have their own

personalities but I can tell you at times it is hard to tell them

apart (it could just be me). The group is made up of members:

Taeyeon, Jessca, Sunny,Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung,

Yoona & Seohyun (Jessica is Korean-American, born in CA

and moved to South Korea at age 11;Tiffany-real name is

Stephanie Hwang-is also Korean-American and was born in

CA; Sunny-Lee Soon Kyu-is also Korean-American and was

born in CA-Each can speak fluent Korean and English)

The ages are 22-23 and they are amazing. Yes, some

of their music can be candy pop but they do have vocal talent.

The one song I want to share with you is my favorite and the

dance with it is OMG! Sorry, I am excited and forgot where I

was. That song/video is I Got A Boy The link below is from

youtube and I will also post a link of a youtuber who recreated

the I Got A Boy Dance for fun. When you see her dance, the

youtuber, you may see the depth and intricate choreography

that went into this dance and song. ~Bo~

LETS GET READY TO

RUM-

BLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Ok, that maybe a little tiny bit over dramatic but that is ho

excited I am about this event. I mean, who can say they compete

a Wine-Os wine/beer making contest??? Well, technically, anyon

who joins our group, but that is not the point. The point is this is

all out war between the reds and whites with the foamy suds we beer as the underdog. We are going to fight for the right to make

our own wine-o mixture and then bare it all to those who we deem

judges.

If you are ready to show what you are made of when it

comes to the home brewery process, then step up! Step into the

ring and get ready to fight it out. We have the best of the best and

we are not afraid to show you are cork screws. To enter just RSV

on meetup.com or the wine-os facebook page and you will receiv

an email entry form. We will also have a class to teach us the pro

cess of making your own brew. Stay tune and I would like to offic

ly lay down the gauntlet for this epic event. So epic it will make ywant to slap your mama. Well, maybe not that epic. Again the dra

matics has overwhelm me. ~Alison~

Many folk ask the question 'Why is the

Shamrock the National Flower of Ireland ?'

The reason is that St. Patrick used it to ex-

plain the Holy Trinity to the pagans.-http://

www.st-patricks-day.com/

about_saintpatrick.html

While it may come as a surprise to most,

Savannah makes it into [travel.usnews.com]

top five. The genteelest of genteel cities has

been celebrating St. Patrick's since 1813

and likes to do it big, with an attendance

exceeding 400,000. The three-hour parade

goes through the Historic Park District,

where you'll find fountains that have been

dyed green. Participants include a number

of bands and U.S. military divisions.-http://

Americas_Best_St_Patricks_Day_Parades/

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March

17, the saint's religious feast day and the

anniversary of his death in the fifth centu-

ry.

Paint Me Green and Call Me Irish!

I do not know much about the history of St. Patricks Day or the Sain

himself so I did what most people do, Google. I found a nice and strai

to the point article on who Saint Patrick was and why he was given a

whole whoopin 24 hours to be honored. Enjoy! ~Allison~

Who is This Person We Call Saint Patrick?

Saint Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Irela

St Patrick is credited with bringing christianity to Ireland. Most of wh

is known about him comes from his two works; the Confessio, a spirit

autobiography, and his Epistola, a denunciation of British mistreatme

of Irish christians. Saint Patrick described himself as a "most humble-

minded man, pouring forth a continuous paean of thanks to his Maker

having chosen him as the instrument whereby multitudes who had wo

shipped idols and unclean things had become the people of God."

Why Saint Patrick's Day?

Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything

Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly

those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a tradi-

tional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries

worldwide.

So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that tha

the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is

lieved that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with th

their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of

course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost

businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, ma

Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offerin

prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating be

gins.

In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick's

Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns alike celebrate with

parades, "wearing of the green,"music and songs, Irish food and drink,

and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some comm

nities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!~ Credit for thearticle is from: http://www.st-patricks-day.com/about_saintpatrick.h

CARLOS BRIEF VISIT-MARCH 16TH

Hey guys, I'm planning a trip next month to visit. As y

guys can imagine I'm going to spend most of the time

ing my son which leaves me with Saturday night to ha

with you guys. I realize is not much time to spend with

ryone but I"m hoping that we can tear up downtown S

day night and remember some old times. I"ll try to pos

details as we get closer to it but I wanted to post this e

let everyone know about it. Hope to see you then (for

info send emails to S.C.W.D. Facebook Page)

LESLIES BDAY BASH-MARCH 2NDHello Everyone,

I would like to extend an invitation to all o

to join in on my birthday festivities Saturday, Mar

2013.

A Hummer stretch limo is reserved and w

commodate up to 22 passengers. The plan is to mee

Touch 5:30pm for a cocktail or two and a light din

The limo will pick us up at 7:00pm from Touch and

be filled with a few adult beverage selections of win

beer. If you have a preference on beverage, please

free to bring whatever your heart desires. We will

plore different venues over the duration of four ho

with a drop off back at Touch.

After the drop off a few of us are going to

Night at Galloway Station. This is completely optioI know the previous Greek Night was not favorable

amongst the Wine Group and its perfectly ok to ex

change hugs at Touch until the next meet. I do not

anyone to feel pressured or not attend the first hal

evening because of this.

In regard to the limo the transportation

adult beverages on board are my treat. All I ask is

everyone contributes $10.00 to cover the driver gra

and upcharge for passengers over the count of 10.

Please let me know if you can make it by r

sponse here or call/text 417-827-9851. I hope to cel

and share a toast with all of you!
