Dinner and Wine Pairing Event
We warmly invite you to a special evening of food, wine, and live jazz. Join your fellow Mensa members and your guests to eat, socialize, and maybe even a little dancing. The notion is to enjoy ourselves while raising money for the Mensa Scholarship program.
Attendees will indulge in a great meal with each course paired with an appropriate fine wine. The restaurant has an excellent reputation. The menu is listed below.
The very popular jazz musician Gabriel Mark Hasselbach will be performing for the evening. He is a regular performer at the Pinnacle, and well regarded.
