Number 55 —  January, 2005

Our Last Event

The Palm did a lovely job for us. That was a terrific room. Thanks for setting it up, Jim.

The Inglenooks were in beautiful condition, although they don’t trip my trigger quite the way GDLTPR does. Favorite wines were the ’60, ’64 and NV.

Our Next Event

Our next event will be 5pm January 22nd at Bice  (pronounced Bee-Chay) at the Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Florida. They are an upscale Italian restaurant that started in Milan in 1926. They now have locations all over the world, each with its own personality. To reach the restaurant you valet park at the hotel, walk through the lobby and down the stairs and go outside where you come to a setting that is supposed to remind you of Portfino Bay. You will then walk around the lagoon and empty shops and restaurants until you come to a two-story building where you will walk back up the stairs and arrive at Bice.

We have a private room with our own balcony and terrace that we can use afterwards for cigars and after dinner libations for those interested. They will provide white wine and champagne glasses to start out with as well as something to nibble on. Ron didn’t like their red wine glasses and suggests we bring our own. Oliver, the person who will be taking care of us that evening, also suggested that we order off the menu so that everyone can try something different. I would suggest an appetizer, pasta course, entree and desert.

The theme of this event is The Key of ‘G’:
