CANCELLED
The best place to enjoy a summer evening is in the open air on the MAC West pool deck. On Saturday, July 18, the West Clubhouse is having a Sushi and Riesling tasting. Sushi and Riesling work well together because of its balance of sugar and acidity. Sample this delicious duo at MAC West’s Sushi and Riesling Tasting. The tasting will be from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The cost to attend is $30 per person or $25 per person for Wine Society members. Or you can register online. Click here to enter the member login area.
