| Wine Tasting & Dinner Saturday April 16, 2011 |
| For ten years, from 1998 to 2007, I commemorated the last evening of Titanic with dinner at my restaurant. All of the cuisine was based on the 4 last meals served on that fateful April evening in 1912. The book, “Last Dinner on Titanic” provided the menus and the corresponding Edwardian recipes that we followed to the letter. I spent five months preparing for each dinner, doing research on actual passengers who lived in our immediate area. Customers came from as far away as Syracuse and Rochester dressed in period clothing—sometimes waiting over 2 hours for a table. I brought back the Titanic dinner in 2010 at Rosemary's Legacy. It was very successful. We partnered with Wagner Vineyards, who poured the wine for the eight course meal. Click HERE to see pictures of the 2010 dinner. This year, we partnered with Glenora Wine Cellars, Seneca Lake's first winery. The Glenora staff worked with me to select the perfect wine for each of our authentic Titanic entrees. - John Pulos |
| Featuring Violinist Trevor Burrall The evening also featured live violin music. The Geneva High School junior has been studying the violin for nine years. Beginning his training with Ithaca Talent Education in the autumn of 2002, Trevor currently works with Syracuse Symphony violinist Julianna Grey. He is a member of the Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Apart from the violin, Trevor enjoys singing in the St. Peter's Community Senior Choir, figure skating, and reading. He hopes to take part in French foreigh exchange following his graduation. Another Editor's note: Trevor was fabulous! |

| Editor's note - or "idiot's" note - I managed to take many good pictures of the dinner. I saved them incorrectly (as a shortcut to my desktop - have never done that before), then I cleared the camera disk. They are lost. I asked Christine from Glenora to forward what she had. |
| Before the dinner, each guest was sent a bio of a First Class Passenger. They were seated by that name. As you can see, all came dressed in period clothing. It was an amazing evening. |
| Each course was perfectly paired with a fine Glenora Wine |
