Number 15 —  July, 1995

 

Upcoming Events

Our next tasting will be at the California Grill, Saturday, July 15th, 1995 at 3:00p.m.  The California Grill is located on the 15th floor of the Contemporary Hotel at Walt Disney World.  We have arranged for a semi-private room (with view) and service help.  We will have the room to ourselves until sometime during dinner.

As we have individually discussed over the past few weeks, starting this quarter the Syndicate will arrange for a prix fixe wine tasting dinner to follow our formal tasting, and will prepay for the event from our dues.  It is our hope that by arranging the menu in advance, we may be able to better select wines to accompany the meal and to have an opportunity to sample a greater variety of cuisine.

Manager George Miliotes and his assistant Patricia have graciously assisted us in assembling the following special 5 course menu:

Appetizer:         Assorted California Pizza

Soup:                Scallop & Lemongrass Soup (slightly spicy)

Fish Course:      Pan Seared Tuna with Asian Slaw and Black Bean Cake

Meat Course:     Oak Fired Beef Filet with Sonoma Foie Gras Butter and Zinfandel Glaze

Dessert:            Mocha Creme Brulee with Almond Biscotti

Coffee, Tea, Non-alcoholic Beverages

 

The cost per person is $35 including corkage, tax and a 15% gratuity.  Truly exceptional service may be recognized individually at your discretion.
