EVENT DETAILS

Members & Friends,

You are cordially invited to our September event at The Hard Shell Bellgrade (Midlothian) featuring Business & Blends! The Hard Shell strives to offer the highest quality seafood, steaks and more in a warm, inviting and relaxing atmosphere. They have been repeatedly voted “BEST SEAFOOD” in the city by Style Magazine and Richmond Magazine. And we’re not stopping at just great seafood! We’ve been asked by a few of our members to expand our wine education to occasionally include wine-related industry topics. So we’re blending a little business with pleasure at this event by having WWS Wine Director, Kat Morgan, speak to the wines we’re drinking and touch on some industry topics along the way. Please check out the details below and join us for a taste of The Hard Shell’s fine fare.
