Number 15 —\u00a0 July, 1995<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Upcoming Events<\/h1>\n

Our next tasting will be at the California Grill, Saturday, July 15th, 1995 at 3:00p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0 The California Grill is located on the 15th floor of the Contemporary Hotel at Walt Disney World.\u00a0 We have arranged for a semi-private room (with view) and service help.\u00a0 We will have the room to ourselves until sometime during dinner.<\/p>\n

As we have individually discussed over the past few weeks, starting this quarter the Syndicate will arrange for a prix fixe<\/em> wine tasting dinner to follow our formal tasting, and will prepay for the event from our dues.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Manager George Miliotes and his assistant Patricia have graciously assisted us in assembling the following special 5 course menu:<\/p>\n
