Fostered a place that everyone was welcome, and hosted and drew quick portrait sketches of, a took so many pictures of the many who’s in this fascinating exuberant vital vibrant wine community it blows my mind, and here I share the small photo montages from @RitzCamera way back when in the nineties when they provided these color pictures so see what was contained in the slides, as most everyone forgets quickly!

Thanks @Ritzcamera for providing these small photos the size of slides to better see what the rolls of film captured! gracias grazie merci, thanks , obregado!

Glorious German wine dinner Thursday, June 20, 2002 7pm at @NamVietPho59 with @MrToi and @WinesellersImports @AdamSager with the wines of Germany through Cleveland Park Wine and Spirits!

Thanks Adam Sager of Winesellers LTD you did a great job! Thursday night June 20, 2002, LOOKING BACK - remembering these fine events with superb wine of Germany! THIS was when owner Mr Toi was still alive. we understood each other and knew that if we teamed together it would be to all our benefit! And so we did, and we had great events as we also worked closely with the @GermanWineSociety! HERE is tge menu and the price list with the wines that we poured and which Adam Sager did a great job speaking about, shining light on both their weaknesses and strengths and overall brilliance and e excellence!
