Allied Domecq Dinner

The Fred Meyer Wine Stewards were the guests of Allied Domecq at a dinner held on February 18, 2003 at Pazzo's.

Allied Domecq serves as the marketing company for such brands as Buena Vista, Mumm's, Clos du Bois as well as many others.

We started the evening off by tasting a variety of wines from Australia, New Zealand and California while the group continued to arrive. We then sat down for dinner. The dinner was very informal and relaxed.
