WINE EVENTS

Kathleen in our Scottsdale Showroom in 2000 preparing for our first wine tasting for our store customers, wine locker customers and client builders and architects.

Had a great time at this year's Grand Tasting at Caesars Palace on May 9, 2014.

We enjoyed a staggering variety of signature dishes prepared by the world’s most celebrated chefs. The dramatic five-acre Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis at Caesars Palace featured more than 50 award-winning chefs and more than 100 of the best wines and spirits from around the world. What an amazing time!

I had the great honor and pleasure of meeting the world renowned Michael Broadbent when he was honored at the World Gourmet Summit in Las Vegas.
