We would like to thank all the Bouchaine Bacchus Club members who braved the 30+ mph wind gusts and chilly temperature at our Club Luau on Saturday, 5/22/10! Only in Northern California can one attend a luau complete with leis and aloha shirts as well as wool sweaters and feece jackets! We are so glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the wine and food, the musical and hula performances, and of course, the company of dear friends.
Also, we want to thank Island Style Catering for the yummy food, the magnificent Faith Ako (http://www.faithako.com) who performed Hawaiian/Polynesian music beautifully, the lovely hula dancers Linda Low and Maranda Thompson from Halau Na Pua O Ka Laakea Hula School of Marin/Sonoma County (http://www.hulaon.org) and last but certainly not least, our own fabulous Bacchus Club/Tasting Room/Hospitality Team (Dee, Susan, Shantelle, Luke, and Lisa) for their amazing efforts to make this event one that our club members will remember fondly!
