Dear German Wine Society Members and Friends of German Wine,

The German Wine Society would like to invite you to a very special evening with Janet Cam, who will be pairing a delicious global array of tapas-style foods with German Sekt. The event will take place on Friday, November 14, at 7:30 p.m.

Janet Cam is best known as the co-proprietor of the elegant LePavillon restaurant in Washington DC and the Managing Director of the legendary Lutèce restaurant in New York City. At LePavillon, Nouvelle Cuisine was introduced to the United States. The restaurant garnered the Wine Spectator Grand Award and became one of the few dining experiences comparable to a Michelin 3 star restaurant in France. Today, Janet provides consulting services to restaurant and hospitality businesses with a focus on wine and beverage programs. Ms. Cam also conducts weekly food and wine tastings addressing various wine subjects including Value for Money Wines, comparative tasting of cellared Entry Level Wines vs Current Release Wines from Great Producer as well as Tasting for Potential.
