Upcoming Events
Our next tasting will be at Disney’s Contemporary Resort’s California Grill, Saturday, October 7th, 1995 at 3:00p.m. As before, dinner will be served at 5:00 p.m., and we will have the room to ourselves until 7:00 p.m.
We have attempted to “lighten up” the menu somewhat from our last tasting. George Miliotes has arranged for the following prix fixe dinner to follow our formal tasting:
Appetizer: Assorted California Pizza
Salad: Field Greens with Cabernet Vinaigrette and Chive Ricotta Toast
Fish Course: Yoshie’s Sushi Platter
Meat Course: Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Polenta and Balsamic Smothered Mushrooms
Dessert: Berries in Broth with Angel Food Cake and Basil Sherbert
Coffee, Tea, Non-alcoholic Beverages
The cost per person is $35 including corkage, tax and a 15% gratuity. (This sum has been added to the $75 quarterly dues listed above.) Truly exceptional service will be recognized by an additional gratuity added to the group’s tab. George may sample some of our wines if his time permits.
This tasting will be a Georges de Latour vertical, and will consist of the following wines, served blind.
