WED JUNE 15 thru SUN JULY 3
"All the world's a stage . . ." We end the season as we began,
with another trip into Shakespeare's enchanted woods where
Rosalind disguises herself as a man as Orlando litters the
woods with love notes praising her beauty and virtue.
Will the two lovers be united? Will Orlando survive the wrestling match? Will you have a great time? Here's a hint: in June there's no better place to be than in Shakespeare's woods at The Shakespeare Tavern. |

| @ City Grill |
Wednesday June 15
City Grill is pleased to present a tasting of one of the most
riotous wines in the world on June 15, 2005. Experience the
wonderful intensity of Sauvignon Blanc as speakers Leslie
Maske of Prestige Wines and Steven McKenzie from Wilson
Daniels entertain questions throughout the event.
Sauvignon Blanc has been called the polar opposite of Chardonnay. Where Chardonnay is all buttery roundness, Sauvignon Blanc is taut and herbal with much more acidity through the center of the wine. If Chardonnay is Marilyn Monroe then Sauvignon Blanc is Jamie Lee Curtis. In fact, the name sauvignon comes from the French word for 'sauvage' or wild. The restaurant will offer a sampling of light hors d'oeuvres to compliment these memorable wines. The festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. with a social gathering for $19 per person including wine tasting and tapas. |
