Greater Houston Chapter 2025 Holiday Party
The Greater Houston Chapter invites you to celebrate the holidays in true Wine Society style! Join us on Sunday, December 7th at 4 PM at the home of Anita and Crawford Bunkley for a festive evening of food, wine, and friendship.
This year’s culinary theme centers around A South American Christmas, featuring turkey, ham, and wines from across the continent. Guests are asked to bring a dish from one of the following categories:
Appetizers
Finger foods, dips with crackers, cheeses, olives
Sides
Empanadas
Tamales
Vegetable dishes (carrots, green beans, corn, etc.)
Beans (black or pinto)
Potato or rice dishes
Green salad or pasta salad
Desserts
Cake, pie, or cookies
* Please contact host Anita Bunkley at anitabunkley2@gmail.com by December 1st to let her know which dish you will bring.
We’ll start the evening with South American sparkling wine, followed by red, white, and rosé wines paired with dinner, and end with a dessert wine to complement the sweet finale.
