What we’re about
Welcome to WineBudz – a "no-wine-snobs-allowed" group in Kitsap County and beyond. Whether you’re brand new to the vine or a ripened enthusiast, you will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere here. We will offer several events every month at venues all over Kitsap County, from Poulsbo to Silverdale, Bremerton & places beyond. As variety is the spice of life, so too will we provide a wide variety of meetups... from the traditional (i.e. happy hours, wine tastings, wine classes, wine dinners, etc.) to the novel and one-of-a-kind (i.e.... well, you’ll just have to join to find out!). So come make new friends and perhaps learn a bit about wine along the way. You must be 21 to join and no older than 121 (as we are concerned about your ability to drive home).

If you do not agree to the following, please remove yourself from the group and any of our activities and events. Thank you.

- Tribute to Stones at Beach RockSuquamish Clearwater Casino Resort, Suquamish, WA
Stoneheads in Kitsapland will no doubt get some “Satisfaction” from this tribute to Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and the super-group from London. As part of the original vanguard from the ‘60s "British Invasion," the Rolling Stones are the world’s longest-running band in Rock & Roll history, continuing to tour internationally now into their seventh decade.
Seattle’s very own Gimme Shelter band pays a grand tribute to the original British Super-Group. The band is in their 17th year of performing music of the Rolling Stones throughout the Pacific Northwest. They re-create the authentic sound of the Stones, mannerisms, as well as a true-to-form visual reproduction of the band’s members, especially the original songwriting team of Jagger-Richards.
You can expect to hear all your favorite hits across the decades, such as “Time Is On My Side”, “Gimme Shelter”, “Get Off of My Cloud”, “Paint it Black”, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, “Tumbling Dice”, “Angie”, “It’s Only Rock & Roll”, “Shattered”, “Start Me Up”, and too many others to list! Seats for this show are $15 directly from the casino gift shop, or $21 online from Ticketmaster at https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0F0062B69A1E2728.
Please add your name to the RSVP list only after you have purchased a ticket. Showtime is 8:30 pm, but plan to arrive earlier to join us for a good seat, and enjoy a little conversation over an appetizer and drinks before the performance. Life is short everyone, sooo . . . “Let’s Spend the Night Together” with a Stones Party! The fun kicks off in the Beach Rock music venue at Clearwater. Hope to see you there!
