| - First Somm's Vault Wine Tasting & Member Mixer:
with light bites on the front patio overlooking beautiful views of Camelback Mountain & the valley at Wrigley Mansion on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with light winds to keep us cool. The hors d'oeuvres were very nice (had them before at a beautiful wedding there during the reception before our sit down dinner-which was very delicious) & enjoyed the wine selections especially WM Brut NV & Santa Digna Reserva.
