San Francisco Bay Area Wine-German Wine Dinner

The upstairs private dining room at Alioto’s restaurant, with its spectacular view overlooking Fisherman’s Warf out toward the Golden Gate, has been the most popular venue for past German Wine Society Dinners.  For this event, proprietor Nunzio Alioto, a German wine enthusiast, has personally selected the cuisine to compliment our selection of outstanding wines.  There are a few places for what promises to be a most memorable event.  Advance reservations required.  Reserve your place now by sending your check, as described below.
