The Wine Committee Presents The New World Wine Dinner Friday, July 21 7:00 p.m. It s no wonder why New World wine has gotten so popular over the last decade. By-in-large the wines are fruit forward, accessible early, and downright great to drink. At the upcoming New World Wine Dinner we will have a chance to try wines from Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Australia, and of course, the United States. In addition, each course has been carefully paired by your very own Chef and Wine Committee. As this is the final dinner of the wine committee season, I greatly hope to see each and every one of you there. Bob Kervin, Chairman of the Wine Committee Standard cancellation policy applies. Deadline for cancellations: Wednesday, July 19 at 5 PM. For reservations and seating requests, please call 713.659.1431. Food substitutions are available with 48 hours notice.
