Wine Club Member Annual Fandango Celebration

We had yet another successful Fandango party! This year’s event fell on Saturday, June 14th. Visit us online to see our Fandango Celebration Video and Photo Gallery.

It was a perfect evening; weather temperature peaked at about 86 degrees and our volunteer Grape Stompers stomped to music of the Hot Frittatas, as the band strolled through the tables playing café style acoustics. During intermission we enjoyed music by Grape Vine Music who offered a wonderful mix of Italian classics including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the Rat Pack and Bocelli.

With almost 300 guests in attendance, St. Francis Executive Chef David Bush kept busy with the menu that included authentic Italian themed dishes.

We would like to thank all of our devoted club members, without you, this would not be possible! If you could not attend this year’s Fandango event, we hope to see you next year! Cheers!
