For immediate release.
Contact Chef Marty at 202-265-0477 or chefmartydc@aol.co
To all my friends in The DC Dining Society,
Because of my medical problems we have not done much during the last year, but enough already!!!!! I may be walking a bit slower, but it is now time to get back into action. Remember that your membership is free and reservations are requested.
We will begin with our Second Chance International Thanksgiving Banquet on Sunday, November 28, from 11:30 AM until at least 3:30 PM at Taberna del Alabardero at 1776 "Eye" Street NW. Washingtonian Magazine calls them "The best Spanish restaurant in America." Thereafter, we will continue our holiday traditions with similar wine banquets for Chanukah, Christmas Eve or Day, and New Year's Eve. In January we will reestablish our schedule of cooking classes, restaurant events and the rest. The locations and menus (and choice of Christmas meal) of our other holiday festivals will depend on the size of our group, so please let us know of your interest as soon as possible. The adult beverage buffets at each event will include the following until each is depleted and may be replaced by additional selections. Vintages may vary. (By the way, if you like what you drink at our events, our good friends at Schneider's of Capitol Hill will help you find them for your own home or gift giving, and may have some good holiday specials for you. Call Jon there for more information.)
