It was fresh and crisp.  </div> <bR> <div> Take  Interstate 10 to Mesa and go east on Mesa to 7128, left side, when headed east. </div> <div> Lots of parking in the shopping center lot.</div> <bR> <div> Take home a bottle of wine too.</div> <div> Today's  (September  2002) unsolicited comment  from Oscar (one of our members) who has now gone a couple of times:</div> <div> "Il Posto is great" ..... </div> <div> <IMG SRC="339fa7d0.gif" border=0 width="250" height="125" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">   <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#33CC33" FACE="Arial" >Now at 7128 N.

We will be featuring the wines of Clos Du Bois. They are an award winning winery from California. There will be a representative from the winery here to speak about the wines. We are proud to be able to do a wine dinner with such a renown winery. We have paired the wines with a great and interesting menu. The event will be on the 26th of this month.
