Merci,
Благодаря, Thanks Dude, Gracias, Dankie, and Grazie!
Last evening, we enjoyed a multi-national tasting
with our tour guide, raconteur, and bon vivant, John Eld. John led us through a sampling of wines from
France, Bulgaria, California, Chile, South Africa and Italy with what he calls
his “Powerless Point”. As usual, he
presented the wines with clarity, humor, and insight. We are truly fortunate to have John Eld as
one of our members. Thank you, Sir.
Our thanks, also, to Diane Hanlon for providing the wonderful
selection of cheeses and breads, and to Kevin and Bob Dering (The Dering Duo)
for coordinating the wines and pouring.
And, thank you to the “usual suspects” for helping with the set-up of
the tables and chairs.
We had several new members and guests in attendance
last evening. We encourage you to invite
your friends, neighbors and coworkers.
We have an incentive for you to do so, too. If you invite a guest, and that guest joins
our chapter, you will have your local chapter dues paid for the following year!
