Hope everyone is having a nice April despite all the rain. All the wet weather has certainly caused disruptions in our mainte-nance practices. We have been working hard to keep up with the mowing during the couple dry days. The course survived fairly well during the recent storm we had. We lost three trees and had just whole lot of debris scat-tered around. Thanks for the patience during the cleanup. As always feel free to email me through the club about any questions that you may have.

Something new is over the horizon for those who like to just cocktail it with friends, over a good bottle or glass of wine, or just your favorite cocktail; wanting something to nibble on, group wise. But you don’t have a meal in mind, you’ll get full, and that would just spoil everything, and finish the evening too soon. Or it’s the perfect appetizer to start your meal.
Well, we’ve got the answer to your nibble craving, a Charcuterie Board, adorned with an array of freshly sliced meats & gourmet cheeses, along with aromatic flavored honey & flavored preserve, accompanied with warm ciabatta rounds and select olive mix, that can satisfy up to four people. So, try one with friends, and enjoy all the savory notes that a Charcuterie Board has to offer, from the sweetness, saltiness, & bitter flavors that it will provide. And if you come in and say “I’ll or We’ll take a Charcuterie Board”, Chateau will give you 20% off.
And if you really want to push the envelope, come in and say, “I’ll or We’ll take a Charcuterie Ba-by!”, Chateau will give you 20% off, plus a taste of something exquisite from the Maitre D’ Wine Cellar.
