Small Vineyards Dinner
March 5, 2009
A wonderful evening of food, wine and fun! Tom Kelly, from Small Vineyards Imports led a "tour of Italy". The event was planned by Bill Allegri, owner of Allegri Wine & Art Gallery in Gresham. He partnered with Saul Pompello, owner of Ristorante di Pompello in Troutdale.
