Held Sunday, April 24th Niles Rotary members enjoyed Old World meeting the New World in wines. Who attended? Niles Rotarians and dear friends. What was it? A mezzanine seat and two hours of fun interaction led by the Wine Steward himself, winemaker and wine educator – Jim Denham – Plus, delicious wine tasting with assorted cheeses, meats and homemade sourdough. It was a sold out event and when Niles Rotarians were asked whether they preferred old world wines or new world wines at the lunch meeting Thursday, April 28th, most said they just like it all!
