ODV: much more than wine

When I blogged about ODV yesterday, it was my first I’d heard of the wine group. I was intrigued enough by its Web site to stop by The Drop and find out what this self-proclaimed “unpretentious” wine group was about.

A hundred or so people turned out last night, but that’s where the similarities to a normal wine event ended. Not one sommelier or wannabe sommelier was present and nobody seemed particularly zealous about discussing wine. It turns out ODV has little to do with wine and lots to do with connecting to new people.

I asked ODV president Jen Schulte why that is.
