Thursday night Southern Methodist University Alums got together to mix, mingle, and enjoy some wonderful French wine. (Pictured: RSVP writer and SMU Alum Amanda Cochran with Eduardo)

Being a graduate myself, it’s always fun to reconnect with people I went to school with, plus it’s always nice to meet new friends and business connections. About 100 people came out to French Country Wines, a niche distributor located just off of Kirby in the Rice U area.

Owner Tim Smith traded in his bond trader hat to fulfill his passion for importing fine wine. Bottles and cases are sold to both individuals and to restaurants. It’s all from France and the selection is sensational! This place is really known by “word of mouth” so here you go my friends. I recommend you check it out or host your own private tasting. Here are a few party pics:
