What a stellar gathering it was. The first day of
the Christmas Season saw a gathering of all the Texas
WineGeese at the Montaigne Club in Dallas. Ken Gorman
and John Sharkey, the New York members of the “Troika” jetted
in for the festivities and to help with the induction of
ten new members to The Ireland Funds WineGeese Society.
WineGeese wines served were as follows Château de
La Ligne (Bordeaux, France), Murphy-Goode (Alexander Valley
California), Leeuwin Estate (Margaret River, Australia),
Chateau Montelena (Napa Valley, California), Limerick Lane
Cellars (Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California),
Montreaux Brut Sparkling Wine (Corley Family, Napa Valley,
California), and Delamain XO Cognac and Bailey's Irish
Cream.
Michael Collins, owner of Limerick Lane Cellars
and second generation Irish from Cork joined us from
Sonoma. His award winning Zinfandel was served with
the main course. What a coincidence that joining
the group for the occasion were Roger and Jean Downer,
Liza O’Connor, and Eamonn Cregan from the University
of Limerick. Guess what their signature wine will
be in future.
Michael, a good friend of our esteemed Honorary
Chairman Ted Murphy, invited us all to lunch at his vineyard
when the Geese fly out to Sonoma next April.
John Sharkey and Ken Gorman, hosts of the October WineGeese
dinner at the Sky Club in New York, were very complimentary
about the evening to the third member of the Troika, John
Tillotson despite being presented with Dallas Cowboy caps
to wear at the Dallas-Giants game.
As usual the Texans closed the place down and the New
York, California, and Houston guests were very glad that
they only had to walk across the street to bed.
