Another Successful Event for the Chamber
Winemakers Dinner 2010
The 3rd Annual Winemakers Dinner was a huge success! The event, hosted by Tony & Sherry LoForte of Zio Fredo Restaurant and Rodney Strong Wine Estates, included a six course meal paired with some of Rodney Strong's finest vintage offerings. Between each course, Kristen Mowforth, Nor-Cal District Manger for Rodney Strong wines, gave a wonderful explanation of the complexities of the wine paired with that course. The Winemakers Auction was very successful and Chamber staff member, Rich Curtola did a great job as auctioneer. If you missed the Winemakers Dinner, one of our best annual events, please contact us and we'll make sure you don't next year!

Note from Anita Hawkes
President and CEO

Thanks to all those who attended the Winemakers Dinner. A special thanks for all of the donated bid items and to those of you who bid on those items. I would be remiss if I did not mention our great auctioneer, Rich Curtola; he is really good. The Chamber staff also did a wonderful job thanks, John, Josette, Bobbie, Connie and to our volunteers who helped check in and out. It was just perfect. Next thing on our list is the golf tournament on July 29, I know that will be a great event, sign up now!
 
Warm Regards,
