Orange County Bottle Share

I've got too many bottles I've traded for that I end up solo doming and would rather get involved in a semi-regular bottle share. I know there is a monthly share up in LA, but that is a bit too far for us OC folks. I would like to get something similar going around here. Not sure if there is anything out there already, but any help organizing or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

I live in Los Alamitos on the border of Long Beach and work in Newport Beach, could meet up anywhere around either

 

That would be cool. The more the merrier!

 

Anybody have any ideas as far as a potential venue? I did one at First Class Pizza in Irvine a couple years ago, but that was a little far. They were pretty chill with us being there as long as we ordered some pizzas.

 

Seems to be a good bit of interest, I should have posted this long ago. Of the recommendations thus far, I think Native Son sounds the best to me, and has a fairly central location to OC. I have never been there, but can try to message them to set something up if we want to go that route - unless anybody else has some kind of relationship with them or knows someone there better.

 

Guaranteed to be, haha.

I spoke with Native Son and they said they would be happy to accommodate us, and that they've held multiple bottle shares there in the past. They would just like to know what day we are planning to do it. I'm typically available most nights except Tuesday & Sunday. Saturdays seems like a good day for heavy drinking, what does everybody think? Maybe we can have the first one after Thanksgiving passes, so the week of the 26th.

Feel free to chime in if you'd like to attend.
