Number 38 — January, 2001
At Steve & Linda’s, catering by Grand Cypress
Our Last Event
We had a great time having you all over, and hope you enjoyed it, too. The favorite wine was 1975 Haut Brion. Ron wants me to remind everyone that he got seven out of seven, including the Lynch Bages!
Our Next Event
Our next event will be at 4PM Saturday, January 20th, at our house again (Shula’s promises that next time they will have an opening). This time we have arranged for the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress to provide the catering from the Hemingway’s menu, along with wine servers and 225 glasses. Cost is $65pp++. Not bad on short notice!
