About seventy-years ago, on June 20, 1951, our organization had its very first dinner at the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, CA. It was all French menu with wine. On August 12, 1952 we formally joined the International Wine & Food Society of London. The new Branch Chapter became known as the Wine and Food Society of La Jolla. On June 20, 2022 we celebrated this special day at Bistro Du Marche in La Jolla, CA again with an all French menu and wine from our cellar (cellar is almost as old as the Branch). Thirty-four members, including 5 new members, enjoyed fellowship and discussed the exceptional food and wine pairings. Our group remains dedicated to enjoying the finest wines with exceptional food and good friends. This summer event was organized by Chairman Bruce Burgener and wife Gloria.
