ThrowBack Thursday #TBT to #Winetasting

"Frogtown Winery" of course had a lot of cute and funny frog statues made of glas

Throwback Thursday - eller tilbagebliks-torsdag til torsdag for to uger siden hvor jeg var til vinsmagning på Frogtown Winery med Valdosta North Rotary. 

Arrangementet som egentligt bare gik ud på at mingle og hygge sig i godt selskab, var også kombineret med MetroOne som er en gruppe af unge professionelle her i Valdosta - læs mere her. 

Aftenens højdepunkt var at anerkende Jamie Baltrus og Eric Johnson (billede nr. 2), som begge er rotarianere, og begge i MetroOne, men som i øvrigt at blevet kåret til "Georgia's Trend 40 under 40". 

Der kunne vi måske lære lidt af USA - de er altså virkeligt gode til at anerkende og værdsætte folk som gør en speciel indsats indenfor et hvilket som helst område. Noget af en kontrast til vores jantelov :-) 

Udover det gode selskab var der også mulighed for at nyde et godt glas lokalproduceret vin og lidt ost og kiks.

Det er altid dejligt at få en mulighed for at lære nogle af rotarianerne bedre at kende, f.eks. Joe og Linda Crane på det første billede.

Throwback Thursday to Thursday two weeks ago where I went to a wine tasting at Frogtown Winery with Valdosta North Rotary. 

The event, which was basically just a mixer to mingle and have fun with good company, was also arranged with MetroOne, a group of young business professionals here in Valdosta - read more here. 

The evenings highlight was the celebration and recognition of Jamie Baltrus and Eric Johnson (picture no. 2), both rotarians and both in MetroOne, but who had been announced as some of "Georgia's Trend 40 under 40". 

This something we could learn from in Denmark - here in the US they are generally really good at acknowledging and appreciation of people who do something special within any kind of field. Something that is far from Danish culture and our "law of jante" (I have talked about this earlier here) :-)

Besides the good company we also had the chance to try some good, locally produced wine,  and some cheese and crackers. 

it is always nice to have an opportunity to get to know some of the rotarians a bit better like Joe and Linda Crane in picture no. 1.
