We are grateful to our members who enjoy sharing their many interests and talents and last Friday Night was a double hitter. The City Club was privileged with an opportunity to host an outstanding start to the weekend through the effort of one of our Board Members and Past Chair, Mr. Marc Intermaggio.
Marc facilitated a tasting presentation with Andrew Weir, the talented and charismatic Balvenie Ambassador from The Balvenie Distillery based in San Francisco. The Balvenie has been specializing in a handcrafted single malt scotch since 1893. Today it is the only Scottish distillery to grow and floor-malt its own barley and has its own coopers and coppersmiths to tend its traditional distilling equipment. They make a unique range of single malts which offer a rich, luxurious and smooth finish with the underpinning of a distinctive honeyed character.

The event was so popular we requested and received a second tasting opportunity that evening, to accommodate the extra reservation requests. Members & Guests expressed their enthusiasm in the excited conversations buzzing around the room. Appreciative remarks were in regard to the "information and history provided" and "a superb education on each selection" Andrew choose to showcase.
In between the tastings interested members met on another floor to enjoy seven different varieties of Cuban, Dominican, Nicaraguan and African Cigars. Our Food and Wine Committee Chair, Mr. Kevin Cholokian, choose several full bodied and medium-bodied, handmade cigars to satisfy the evening’s aficionados. The City Club invites you to view the calendar of events and plan your evenings accordingly. There is a special event planned just for you!
