Scotch Tasting Dinner

The Scotch Tasting Dinner fund raiser for the Petaluma Historical Museum went off wonderfully last night.  We had better than a sold out crowd; don't quite know how that happened!  The selection of scotches was a very well selected tour of Scotland, providing excellent examples from their 5 major regions, which produce very different malts.  I'm very proud of the food pairing, which worked out very well with some dishes I just loved.  The speaker Steve Beal did a great job, very informative and funny; I hope he will be available for the Bourbon Dinner in June at the Petaluma Arts Center.

The museum raised several thousand dollars, and I hope had a lot of new people introduced to this downtown jewel.
