      Hi Patty Jo! This particular blog post is about last year’s event, however, the snail mail invitation that you likely received in the last 2-3 weeks or so is for THIS year’s event! Yes, the price does include wine and spirits–and no, it’s not just for ladies. (although I think it would be a GREAT girls night out event!). The invite that you have is correct since this was last year’s post. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Hope to see you there!
