WINE AND CHEESE NIGHT with SASS, WineSoc and EpicSoc

Hermann's Bar, Thursday 9^th April 7pm

Join WineSoc, FrenchSoc, Sass and EpicSoc for a night at Hermann's Bar of... well... Wine and Cheese! Last year we picked up a best event award for this event, and this year we're hoping to do the same! This Wine and Cheese evening will be even bigger and better than the 2 smaller wine and cheese tastings we've held so far this semester! With all of Hermann's to ourselves, all sorts of delicious wine and cheese pairings, additional nibblies from EpicSoc, and all the great company of your fellow members, the night is sure to please.

Tickets will be $5 for members, $8 for Access and $10 for non-members, and you can buy them on presale at our table outside Manning from 12-2 Mon-Thurs this week, or anytime from the ACCESS office. Door sales on Thursday night will be $8/$10/$12 (members/access/nonaccess).
