committee is sponsoring another Wine Tasting extravaganza. If you didn't
attend the first class last May, you don't want to miss out on this one. Have you ever been in a restaurant and been faced with the inevitable - WHAT KIND OF WINE DO I ORDER? Will the wait staff sneer & laugh in my face? Did you make the mistake of bringing a box of wine to the last dinner party? The wine list can be a foreboding place to be. We will be sampling approximately 6 glasses of wine from a wide range of labels, selected purely for their merit and quality. The wine tasting will be complimented by an incredible selection of cheeses, bread, fruits and other scrumptious hors d'oeuvres! The management at this fine establishment have given us this opportunity to present you with a unique evening of fun and information at a very reasonable rate. Cost: $25.00 - PAYMENTS ARE DUE BY JANUARY 3RD - NO REFUNDS! We have reserved space for 110 people. This is a private club, so the dress code is holiday best...no exceptions. This means dresses for women and suits or shirt and tie for men. Directions: Take I-35E north to exit 102, to Route 13 north (Sibley Memorial Hwy.) Turn right on Lilydale Rd., follow under the railroad pass and the green & white building is on the left. Parking area to the right of the street or take advantage of the complementary valet parking.
