On behalf of our members, we want to say thank you for the generosity of Tony De Caneca and Palm Bay International. 

We would specially like to give a huge "Thank You" to Maria Stevens for helping us in making this event educational and a successful one. The Faustino wine lineup were lovely and very well received.   It would not have been possible to even start without your background and knowledge of the region, as they were instrumental.    This was a fabulous way in getting American Wine Society Meadowlands chapter members introduced to these popular and delicious varietals from Spain.    


Much Regards,
American Wine Society Meadowlands Chapter

Food was provided by Tony De Caneca Restaurant 72 Elm Road, Newark, NJ 07105 Tel: 973-589-6882
Faustino wines can be obtained at Stew Lenard's - Clifton, NJ
