The Memphis branch celebrated the 90th Anniversary of the International Wine and Food Society with a special dinner held at the acclaimed Erling Jensen restaurant.  Dinner chairmen, Dr. Keith Anderson delivered an in-depth history regarding the development of Super Tuscan wines and reviewed the 2006 Sassicaia paired with the buffalo tenderloin. A special toast was made to "absent friends" which of course included long time branch president Leo Bearman. Leo loved the quail at Erlings and his only critique would be "why only one and not two?" Tremendous turnout for this event which featured wonderful food paired with outstanding wines from the cellar.
