Chers Confrères:

Attached to this email is the formal invitation to Société Mondiale du Vin’s next event: our 100 Years of Port Tasting at the Assembly at the Transept (2nd Floor) on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 6:00 PM.  It’s been a number of years since we’ve had a Mondiale port tasting and we can thank Mary Horn for putting together a very fun and educational event with special guest Joao Rebelo, Export Manager for Taylor Fladgate.  The evening will begin with a tasting of 10 year, 20 year, 30 year and 40 year Taylor Fladgate Tawny Ports with cheese, dried fruits and nuts.  The tasting will be followed by, of course, a great dinner (with wine), prepared by Michael Forgus and his staff at Funky’s. Don’t miss out as this one will fill up fast!
