The event was well attended, with 20 members attending. Everyone got their delivery almost in time from our very special delivery man, Alexandre Boiges. Thank you Alexandre!. The following is a screen shot video of the event with the participants, as we moved through the dinner with Rob’s excellent wine selections, descriptions, anecdotes and a lot off dedication for putting wine in very small bottles. Much thanks goes to your Board for their selfless efforts in making this event happen. We also had a very special virtual member tune in (albeit without food and drink) from Florida, Martha Russel.
This event was SOLD OUT. We are sorry if you missed it.
