Slow Food Santa BarbaraEvents "Only do it if it makes you happy."Slow Food founder Carlo Petrini, speaking at the first congress of Slow Food USA
|
4:30 PM TO 7:00PM
Antonio Gardella, enthusiastic wine lover, world traveled wine rep for the Henry Wine Group, is "just a guy who loves wine and
finger-pointing to great wine values," he says, modestly. Antonio will introduce the group to great wine bargains,
talk about New World versus Old World wines, and generally share his wealth of information and samples.
Slow Food member Marilynn Jorgensen and her husband Erroll Jahnke will be our gracious hosts.
Please bring: wine-friendly food to share, a folding chair if you have one, maybe a wine glass or two
so we don't have to rent any or drink out of plastic, and good cheer.
This event is free, but you have to be over 21 years old to drink the wine.
You must RSVP so we will know how many people to expect, and also to get the address of the event.
Attendance limited to 36 people and is reserved to Slow Food members and their guests.
Click here to RSVP via e-mail
or call Marilynn at
(805) 687-4234 and let her know what you plan to bring to the potluck.
