Wine List
Edna Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Medium-bodied in a classic style with ripe dark fruit flavors complemented by hints
of dusty vanilla, leather, anise and cocoa powder. Smooth and spicy with ripe blackberry, cherry
and spice with sweet oak and good balance.
Edna Valley Chardonnay
An attractive bouquet of quince, pear, ripe apple, apricot and light pineapple, with underlying
brown spice notes of cinnamon and clove. A fresh mouthfeel, hints of vanilla and a bright acidity
combine to form a long, pleasing finish
Bogle Zinfandel
Spicy and bold, this wine smells of fresh, ripe fruit and Malabar pepper, with the first impressions
enticing you to take a sip. On the palate, flavors of homemade raspberry jam simmering on the
stove abound. Surrounded by vanilla bean, juniper and toasty oak tones, this wine is well balanced
through and through.
Edan Valley Pinot Noir
Aromatically complex, this wine displays nuances of rose petal, cola, earth and black cherry. It is
medium-bodied with a full mouthfeel, fine tannins and a long finish.
Ménage a Trios Muscato
This naughty but oh-so-nice wine is a delightful blend. Made from grapes from three distinct
growing regions in California, this wine begins its seduction with lush, alluring floral aromas,
followed by luscious peach and apricot flavors that yield to a refreshing finish.
Luccio Moscato D’Asti
This sparkling wine is fresh, fragrant, and frizzante with bright, floral aromas that give way to
flavors of ripe stone fruit, tangerines, and honey. It is concentrated and flavorful, but not overly
rich or heavy, sweet yet balanced.
Rotary Raffle to End Polio
Rotary began immunizing children against polio in 1985. Our work has
reduced the number of cases of the disease by 99.9% worldwide from
350,000 children annually to 333 worldwide in 2014 and prevented
millions of instances of child paralysis and death new outbreaks.
In 2014, confirmation was received that India and therefore the whole of
SE Asia was polio-free after three years without a case and no child has
been reported infected with poliovirus anywhere in Africa since last
August, moving the continent closer than ever to being polio-free. But
polio is still considered endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan where many
areas are inaccessible and volunteers must put their own lives at risk to
immunize the children.
As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, all
children, where ever they live, remain at risk. A donation of $20 will
cover the cost of a polio vaccination for about 30 children. All the
money from the purchase of raffle tickets this evening will be donated to
the Rotary Foundation’s Polio Plus campaign.
Buy Raffle tickets and help end polio now!!
