 Hello Family

Last Thursday (September 18th), we had the pleasure of hosting our first wine dinner at the new Clara's. The wine dinner was not open to the public; rather, we had 24 guests who won complementary spots via their Five Stars RewardMembership. Our guests are members of our rewards program who purchased a bottle of our featured wine in August. We drew 12 names at the end of the month and each winner could bring a guest. The dinner would not have been possible without our partnership with our wine distributor The Winebow Group.

The guests were treated to six different wines from the Botromagno Winery from Puglia, Italy. Dali and Todd (our Winebow friends) treated guests with the background of each of the wines while everyone enjoyed five great food courses developed by Rudy including a fantastic Lamb Ragu which is our featured special for this week. Everyone had a wonderful time but our favorite guest was 9 year old Donald who accompanied his mom. ( But no wine for him!) He loved every course and listened intensely to each course being described. I think we might have the makings of a great chef! Visit our Facebook page to see pictures of the event.



Finally, we hope everyone can support the Seven Bridges Association's “Fill the Bus” Food Drive happening this weekend September 26th and 27th. The food drive will benefit the West Suburban Community Pantry. For more information, visit www.go7bridges.org or call 630-963-9900.
