Members and Friends, you are cordially invited to join us for our September event at Henley on Grace (aka HOG).   Owner William Wright is excited to have us back to his unique, wine-oriented restaurant where you can find over a hundred wines available by the glass!  Where else would you find this in Richmond?!  We thoroughly enjoyed our previous event at HOG a couple of years ago and are definitely looking forward to this one.  We hope you will join us!
