Sacramento Wine Lovers are you in for a treat! Steve Zeigler has been to a couple of our outings and apparently really likes us because he has partnered up with the Steel Station in Roseville to offer us a full evening of wine tasting and dinner with good entertainment including Music & Dancing. Lucchesi Winery will be pouring several of their award winning wines along with Quilici Vinyards, a boutique winery from Butte County that makes five outstanding red varietals.

Wine tasting 6:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.
Buffet dinner 7:30 P.M. (A full glass of the wines from the tasting will be complementary with dinner and additional glasses can be purchased at a discount during dinner)
Live band at 9:00 P.M. (Renegade…A tribute to Styx)
Menu for wine tasting:
Prime Rib (carved buffet side)
Grilled Chicken Breast with rosemary citrus sauce
Harvest Rice Pilaf
Zigatos house Salad
Grilled vegetables
Sourdough Bread with Butter
Chef’s choice Dessert
One Glass of Wine
Coffee or Tea

So where else are you going to get all this which includes the cover charge for one LOW price?
Price: $28.00 (Includes tax and tip)

* For directions and pictures of the place see their website listed below

Please RSVP before this fills up and be responsible for your "yes" as this one will get you a BIG FAT BLACK X by your name if you don't show when you say you are going to. 3 X's and your history! It's just plain rude and economically destructive to our hosting restaurant as well when they plan on food for a certain number of people and there are no shows.

This will be your one chance to purchase tickets for The Best of Sacramento Party at the reduced price of $55 (regularly $75). The Best of Sacramento Party is a formal affair that showcases what has been voted as "best" in the Sacramento area by Sacramento Magazine readers. Proceeds benefit the March of Dimes. More information on that party to come.

http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/media/3/wine-shop_32416.jpgMost of us can't travel to France or Spain these days, so lets try to party like they do. You got it, let's try some wine from these countries. There have been great whites and reds coming from regions in France and Spain for years.

Liz will be hosting this affair at her home. She is excited to show off her newly landscaped backyard and what better way than to have a party! She does ask that everyone be sensitive to the fact she wants NO RED WINE ON THE WHITE CARPET. If you are not sure of your ability, then please spend more time out back or at least on the tiled floors :)

Please bring a wine of your choice that comes from France or Spain and a dish to hopefully pare with it. So we're moving from Italy (our last home themed party at Shellys), yet still maintaining a Mediterranean flair. These parties have proven to be great fun allowing newer members to meet in a more laid back environment and all of us to enjoy the diversity of Northern California wines, food, and beyond.

Anyone have some French or Spanish music to bring?

There is seating for 24 comfortably, so those who can bring an extra chair or two would be appreciated;-)
Also you can call Liz at the number listed to offer a table or two for the back yard if you have that.

$1 per event fee is expected as usual, as the organizer pays meetup to have this site for you wine lovers.

Last year we did this and it was great food, wine, and company. I really hope many of you will consider going and supporting this worthy non-profit. They have lowered the price to ONLY $25.

We plan on going to the State Fair on Wednesday and Friday and would love to meet anybody at the
wine garden around 5:15 to chill out and taste some wine who is also going to the fair that evening.

The wine garden is a great place to meet and cool off on a hot day with their misters. The wine garden showcases CA wines that have competed in the oldest and most prestigious wine competition in North America.

We plan to attend the Three Dog Night concert, so will be heading over there around 6:15. Legendary music icons, THREE DOG NIGHT, enter their 4th decade bringing with them some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. In the years 1969 through 1974, no other group moved more records, sold more concert tickets or achieved more top 10 hits. In 2008 THREE DOG NIGHT continues to top the list of artists with the best "Billboard Top 100 Chart" average!

THREE DOG NIGHT's hits wind through the fabric of pop culture today, whether on the radio where they are heard day in and day out, in TV commercials or in major motion pictures -- songs like "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)", "Joy to the World," "Shambala", "One" and "Black and White" serve to heighten our emotions and crystallize THREE DOG NIGHT's continuing popularity.

After the concert, it is pretty typical to head over to Blues and Brews for Terry Hanke. He and his band play great blues to dance to!

Feel free to ring me at 916-715-9732 about meeting up this evening. Keep in mind that there will be loud music 7:30-9:00.
