Sip and Scene Discussion Group: Wine Country

Monday, May 5 at 6 PM – 8 PM

Eat Chinese food and discuss a movie that passes the Bechdel Test. Sounds like a perfect evening to me.

Sip and Scene is a movie discussion group that meets every first Monday and chooses films with strong female characters and/or themes significant to women. This month’s movie is Wine Country, the 2019 comedy that follows a group of lifelong friends on a trip to Napa Valley.

It works like this: Watch the movie on your own, then go to New New Buffet in Addison and discuss Wine Country with other film fans. The event is free, but you gotta buy your own dinner. RSVP on Eventbrite.
