Spring/Summer Wine Tasting

Come join us for our second wine tasting of the season.  These informal gatherings provide you an opportunity to taste a wide variety of wines in a relaxed atmosphere.  Representatives will be available to answer any questions you may have about the wines and to help guide you in your selections.  Wines will be available for purchase at special member pricing, but there is no charge to attend the event.  No reservations are needed for the tasting, but the grill will fill up rather quickly due to the number of attendees that also stay for dinner, so be sure to reserve a table if you plan on dining with us this evening as well.  Hope to see you there!



*Memorial Day is just a week away, so be sure to make reservations for our annual barbecue.  This year's menu will feature classic bbq from around the world.  You can find a copy of the menu in the Upcoming Events section.

In full swing......

The first week of May featured some great culinary events at the club.  May 4th was our first wine dinner of the season and  I've posted some photos in the gallery.  The Cinco de Mayo menu additions are usually one of our more popular "theme nights" and this year's turnout showed that to be the case yet again.  Over sixty members and guests turned out to enjoy fresh salsas, made-to-order guacamole, mushroom enchiladas, lobster tacos and more.

May is always an exciting month for us in the kitchen, as it typically marks the beginning of seasonally available local produce.  In addition to the local mushrooms and microgreens we use year round, this weekend we'll begin to have local asparagus, for the "asparagus trio" and more.  We'll be sure to keep you informed as more and more local products arrive on the menu.
