A Gourmet Dinner & Wine Tasting on June 17

Join us at the Plimsoll Club for a Gourmet Dinner & Wine Tasting on Saturday, June 17 at 7:15 p.m. Our theme is "The Wines of Australia."

Max Zander, wine expert, will lead us through this evening of gastronomic delights from the "land down under."

The country's two principal reds, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, share a rich and slightly fruity profile.

Shiraz (the native Rhone varietal called Syrah in France) makes a wine thick with soft tannins and ripe fruit, with notes of black pepper.

The Cabernet makes a leaner wine, with firmer tannins and herbal accents to the fruit.

The two grapes, while offering different flavor palettes, are compatible enough to be blended together.

Australia has made a name for itself in the United States with its wildly popular lush and oaky Chardonnays.

During the white wine boom in the 1970s, the standard for Australian Chardonnays was set: low in acidity, round and generous with soft, ripe melon and fig flavors, plus plenty of butter and vanilla.

Enjoy this fabulous feast, including cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and musical entertainment for only $79.95 per person! Make reservations by calling 529-1701. Cancel by noon on Friday, June 16, or full billing will apply. Ask for your cancellation number.

Enjoy complimentary validated parking in the WTC garage.
