I recently happened to be chosen as one of the two people in charge of the organizing committee of sort for a semi-annual wine party held amongst work-related friends and associates. The other day my co-organizer and I went out to consult the restaurant where we were hoping to hold the event.
My co-organizing partner chose the wines for this trial dinner and for the wine party, we have decided that we would bring in the wines, which was graciously accepted by the restaurant (for a fee), for the occasion. It’s not that they don’t have good wines. They do at reasonable prices according to my partner but they just don’t have enough number of bottles of the same kind in stock to make it work for our party which will be attended by 30 + people if all goes well.
Anyway, good food and lovely service at this renowned long-standing establishment. Now waiting to hear from everyone having sent out RSVPs.
