Summer Dinner - July 10, 2024

The 2024-2025 tasting season started off with our traditional summer dinner. We were delighted that we experienced an above-expected turnout, and everyone enjoyed the evening's camaraderie.

Our multi-course dinner took place at the Eddie V's in Troy, Michigan. Food started with freshly baked bread, lobster tacos, salmon in sauce, rack of lamb with green beans, and finally filet minon with asperagus, corn and rice. Wines - as usual - were provided by club members.
