This year, we are returning to the Galleria, the home of our Museum with our Vintner Dinner, for its twentieth anniversary. The date is October 8, 2016, per our Invitation, that we hope you have received. As you know, this traditional event is the occasion where all of our friends can meet in a friendly atmosphere and enjoy each other’s company. Every year we try to do our best to please our guests, primarily with our special wine selections. What is special this year is our dinner menu. We were invited to taste the three entrees offered, and all of them were exceptionally great.
No more salmon! But, the Crab-Stuffed Lemon Sole is exquisite! The Chicken Wellington is not just chicken, it is a culinary experience! The slow-roasted rib-eye melts in your mouth, incredibly seasoned! No kidding! I am constantly changing my mind, which of the three to choose. Oh, and all this is topped with a great selection of old recipe Hungarian desserts.
Add the five carefully chosen Hungarian wines – the first one served at the cocktail hour to tingle your palate – and four more complementing our dinner, your dining pleasure will be completely satisfied.
All this, while the well known Harmonia is entertaining us with music and a short after dinner concert.
This event is also an occasion where you can show your support, that is so necessary for our future. Half of your ticket price and all of your donations – in case you cannot attend – serves that future. That future is important, because we are now the only remaining Hungarian museum open to the public in the entire United States.
If you already sent in your reservation for the 2016 Vintner Dinner, consider yourself lucky as space is limited at Sausalito! With two weeks left we are already past the half way mark. So please do not delay any longer, mail in your reservations today.
By now you have received the invitation, so you know we are honoring two young people for their super accomplishments, Andrea Rice Lauer and Réka Pigniczky. We are also honored that Hungary’s Consul General in Chicago, Hon. Ferenc Szebényi accepted our invitation.
All of this promising to be one of your best dinner parties of the year! We will be talking on the Hungarian radio programs, Kapossi and Bocskai this Sunday afternoon. Be sure to listen in. Hope to see you at the Vintner Dinner!

Chair of the Dinner Committee
