Riven Rock Ranch Sunset Dinner

The theme of May’s spring dinner is a mixed heritage sort of thing, a little French, a little Italian and a little American. Kind of like a lot of us, I guess. The menu sounds yummy and we’re sure you’ll enjoy the evening. If the weather continues to be as lovely as it is today you may want to come early and enjoy wine on the patio.
