Happy New Year!
That greeting reminds me to apologize for getting the Newsletter out
a bit behind schedule. No, it wasn't due to too much celebrating but
simply simply -a busy time for getting back to a regular routine.
The December meeting was its usual success with the annual Champagne
Tasting hosted by the Blosverens and presented by John Landon (as
usual, we are fortunate to note.)
Number One choice was Bellecart-Salmon Brut NV ($39.99) with 14
votes. Number Two was Perrier Jouet de Blance 2002 and $49.99 and
garnered 7 votes. The other four ranged in price from $29.99 to $44.99
(For further details contact John Landon - my pencil broke while
trying to keep the details!)
The Ham Mowbray Scholarship Fundraiser was a great success, funding
our first scholarship in Ham's name and voting to award the next in
Alan Kacsur's name. The winners of the wine baskets were the
Barbours, Landons, Eisbergs, Grillons and Fred Seymour. The Wilson
basket was won by the Burnetts and the Nestoriscks walked away with
the huge Chianti bottle donated by the Heins. Emily Johnston's plants
were beautiful and much enjoyed.
One more reminder - dues are payable for those who haven't yet done
so. As Becky noted in her last Newsletter we will update the roster
at the end of this month and not again until the following year.
Great appreciation to Becky for not just one but two years of
outstanding service. And many thanks as well to both John Landon and
Dean Wilson for continuing to serve respectively as our friendly
TREASURER and WEBMASTER.
Next meeting is at the Grillon's - please call ASAP
"No thing more excellent nor more valuable
than wine was ever granted by God." Plato
