2nd Annual Bastille Day
Garden Reception & Wine Dinner

Tuesday, July 14, 2009
7:30pm reception, 8:00pm dinner
$75 per person [includes tax and gratuities]

Celebrate Bastille Day

Join us on our kitchen garden patio (weather permitting) as we salute the pioneering winemakers of France!

For the second year in a row,
Frederick Brown of Fine Vines will present a delicious line up of five outstanding wines. Each wine will be paired with French-inspired food with a New World edge.

This event is a salute to the French revolutionaries. We plan to feature pioneering winemakers who are pushing the edge of French tradition with their craft – whether with techniques, flavors or value for the dollar.

Vive la Révolution!

This line-up is perfect for couples or for groups - RSVP for this special event soon - seating is limited, so don't miss it!
