Sélections Bordelaises avec Poissons, Volailles et Champs

This Parlement will provide a variety of nice Bordeaux wines to pair with Fish, Fowl and the Field!  We will enjoy the great 2005 and 2009 vintages and also the 2007 -- which should provide us with interesting comparisons.  This is a great event to invite guests that want to become members.  The February dinner will be for new members.  Our Grande Maître, Eric Vogt will preside over the ceremony!  Also don’t forget – member households with two Commandeurs get member price for 4 people.  No limit on the number of times you can bring the same guest.
