A Toast to the Holidays

Cheers! Skal! Prost! A Votre Sante! L'chaim! Salute! Salud!

Members and guests gathered at our annual holiday wine tasting event to toast the season with our friends. Twelve wines were opened and poured for our members to sample, all accompanied by select culinary creations from Royal Palm Village Wine & Tapas.
