Dear Wine & Food Friends,
Please join us Saturday, April 25th for a fabulous luncheon at Christopher’s World Grille in Bryan, Texas.
Our Chef is Christopher Lampo, who is an honors graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York and the Florida International University with a B.S. degree in Hospitality Management. Before opening his own restaurant in 1999, he worked at the River Café and the American Grille both in London, the Boca Raton Resort and the Houstonian. Those of you that were fortunate to attend our event in 2008 at Christopher’s already know we are in for a real treat.
In order to keep our costs to a minimum, all the wines for this event have been donated by the Van Matres and Rumans. The cost for members is $165.00 and guests $195.00. We will be limited to 50 people. Please indicate if you do not wish to ride on the bus.
We will depart the Bistro Le Cep Restaurant located at 11112 Westheimer (near Wilcrest) by “luxury motor coach” promptly at 11:00 a.m. Parking will be available in the lot just west of the restaurant. Dress will be “snappy spring casual” with medallions.
This promises to be a wonderful springtime day filled with wine, food and some surprises!
Respectfully,
Sheila and Keith Owen
