David's Restaurant

Egy kedves spanyolszakos kolleganőm, Christy férje, David étteremtulajdonos Portlandben. Csütörtök este borkóstolóval egybekötött vacsorát rendezett az egyik éttermében, és Christy meghívott, hogy dumcsizzunk egyet, miközben a férje főszakácskodik, és nem mellesleg együk tele magunkat... Sikerült! Íme, a meghívó:

Please join me for a wine dinner on Thursday night October 30th and 6:30 pm. This dinner will feature three wines from Portugal and two Spainish Cavas. One of New England's notable experts on wines from these areas, Paul Dooble will be joining us to talk about the wines we are serving and to answer any questions you may have regarding these or other wines from those regions. Please reserve early because space is limited to 30 guests and these events generally sell out fairly quickly. Dinner begins at 6:30 pm with Cava Reserva brut from Roger Goularto. The menu is printed below and also attached if you prefer to view it that way. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you soon, David Turin Chef/Propeitor Wine Dinner Thursday, October 30th, 2008 6:30 pm
