Buon Natale!
36 Members and guests gathered at the Home of Joe & Diantha Ripley to celebrate the holidays with our annual Holiday Wine Tasting Event. Once again, Joe & Diantha graciously opened up their historic Victorian home, Marabanong, for this evening. Since the chosen theme was Italian wines we called upon Chef Enza Huff and her husband Michael to create a selection of Italian specialties from their restaurant for the tasting.
