(click here for menu)

Dear Fellow Wine Connoisseurs,

The Point Waterfront Restaurant and Rio Vista Rotary Club are proud to present our 11th Annual Winemakers Dinner on Friday, July 10, 2009, beginning at 6:30pm.  We are featuring the award-winning wines of Carvalho Family Winery from Clarksburg.

Starting in the villages and vineyards of Portugal, winemaking has been a Carvalho family tradition. Today, Carvalho Family Winery continues that tradition as an ultra-premium winery, dedicated to the production of small-lot, hand-crafted California wines using grapes from the Clarksburg appellation and other high-quality vineyards throughout California. They take an old world approach to winemaking paired with the best viticulture and enological tools available in the world today.  John Carvalho will be on hand to present his very special wines which have been carefully paired with each course.  Carvalho Family Winery is located in the historic Old Sugar Mill Galeria do Vinho in Clarksburg.  For more information check out their website www.carvalhowines.com

We are thrilled to be introducing to you a most accomplished painter whose work is on display at our nation’s capitol!  While you nibble on our delectable hors d’oeuvres, you will have the opportunity to meet our featured painter, Ning Hou.  He will be showing several of his pieces that have been inspired by the beautiful Delta that we all cherish.   Ning has a gallery in Locke and San Francisco.  Please log on to his website to get a preview of his exquisite paintings. www.ninghou.com       

For your listening pleasure, Locke musician and long-time friend, Stuart Walthall, will be setting the mood with his soothing and melodic piano playing.

Once again, executive Chef Jim Baumann promises your taste buds will be tantalized with each new flavor bursting from every one of his culinary creations! 

Seating is limited, so please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to purchase tickets.  You may call us at (707)374-5400, email at pointgirl@pointrestaurant.com or contact a Rotary club member.  Tickets are 75.00 each and a portion of each ticket sale will be donated to the Rio Vista Rotary Club to be used for children’s programs in the local schools.  We hope to see you there!

Sincerely, Jim and Vickie Bauman
