We would like to thank the following for their generous donations to our Wines and Cuisine of Spain Dinner on February 3, 2017. The evening was enjoyed by all who attended. The food and wine were outstanding and the presentation about the regions of our wine selections was informative and interesting. We know many of you are enjoying the cases of wine you purchased after the dinner. Neil Kratzer from the Wine Room and Joe Sirianni and Jeff Walker from Opici Wine and Liquor Distributors made an outstanding effort to make our event the success that it was. This success was only possible because of so many of our members offered their help.
