BOOK CLUB

 



For the next book club, we are reading "My Antonia", by Willa Cather. However, instead of meeting at someone's house, we are going to meet at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston on Thursday, August 12, for a 6:30 pm guided tour. This tour will include paintings and artwork related to "My Antonia" and will last about an hour. Please bring your copy of the novel on the tour, and meet in the Beck Building.

After the tour, we will walk over to Hotel Za Za for drinks.

For more information, contact michelle_wolpert@hotmail.com.

If you want to read ahead, the next selections are:
The Kitchen House: A Novel by Kathleen Grissom
Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert
Don't Let It Be True by Jo Barrett

WINE CLUB

The next Rice Military wine tasting party will be hosted by Jane Harper at 652 Lester Street, aka as "Tin Alley". Parking is available along Lester and Floyd streets. Please contact Jane directly at jaharp1@gmail.com or 281-634-4342 for the gate code into "Tin Alley". The date and time is August 18 at 6:30 pm.

In honor of Spain and their recent win in the World Cup, the food / wine theme will be Spain. According to Jane, some good Spanish wines include "Spanish Whites - Albarino and Viura, and Reds - Tempranillo and Garnacha. These are reasonably priced and good choices. Adam at Specs Midtown is the Spanish wine expert and can give you some ideas. Many of these have interesting names, but similar to familiar types you may already like."  World Market is also a place to consider.

Please also bring some snacks to share, and if they're Spanish-themed, all the better.
