Dankie



Wonderlik!

It was a wonderful tasting last night of the Wines of South Africa complimented by fantastic food!  Our thanks go to all who added to this experience by contributing time, effort and culinary skills.

Our presenter, Dr. Dennis Trumble, explained and illustrated the vastly diverse region that is South Africa as he pointed out the history of wine in that area.  Pat and Terry Germanoski, Kevin and Bob Dering and Brittany and Tim Altimus were instrumental in providing some of the great food that we all enjoyed.

Some of the meal came from a local restaurant, and we would like to compliment the chef there, too.  The establishment is Tana Ethiopian Cuisine (yes, we know that’s not South Africa).  The link to their site will be posted on our Links Tab.

Below are the wine list and the menu.  Some of the recipes can be found in the cookbook Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant.  We encourage you to try some at home!
