Walter Dacon Le Grand Crew Dinner Party and Dance

July 24th was a terrific afternoon at Walter Dacon Wines.  The weather was perfect as over 100 wine club members, Le Grand Crew, gathered on the lawn to celebrate our 5th year anniversary and partake in a cedar planked salmon dinner with all the trimmings prepared by Randy McIntosh and Vern's Restaurant.  The dance floor was ready as our band from Tacoma, The High Rollers, performed amazing dance music.  Everyone was up and dancing.  BJ a 95 year old guest from Hartstine Island and a former Radio City Rockette, danced every dance. Thanks to everyone for helping us celebrate our fifth year milestone.  To commemorate our fifth year, we introduced 2007 C'est Syrah Belle magnums, personally signed by the winemaker.  Again, thanks to everyone for making the wine club dinner and our 5th anniversary very memorable.
