Last weekend we headed south to Columbus for their Women's bon spiel, which had the theme of Wines of the World. No one on my team had been to the Columbus Curling Club before, which has only been open at its new location for a few years. We were all pleasantly surprised. A charming place ... hard to imagine it had once been a warehouse!

The ice was a bit challenging, very fast but some strange curls to it. It took us awhile to get a read on the ice and we got behind in our first game. We shook after 7 ends and wracked up a loss. We took a break and were feted at the home of one of the Club members, a South American themed menu with accompanying Chilean wine. That must have cleared our heads as we came back in our second game in the afternoon and handily won.
After curling concluded on Saturday, the Club hosted a wine tasting that evening, with different food pairings and tasty wines.... Laurel and I ended up the big winners in the raffle and our team won a prize for best song.... Good thing that wasn't recorded!
On Sunday, we won our final game and ended up the winner of the "B" event. Prizes were bottles of wine (of course).

Columbus outdid themselves on a terrific event and we hope to return next year.
