Hello Kaaren,

Hope all is well with you and your staff. Just wanted to follow up with you concerning the Waterbrook dinner on Wednesday. Everything was first class. First of all the waiter and waitress. They were outstanding. We never had to ask for anything. They were always there pouring wine and asking us if we needed anything. That is always a great accentuation to a meal when dining out. The meal. What a meal! Mr. Ranninger (I hope I spelled his name correctly) is a very talented chef. And a personable person. I really enjoyed the time he gave me talking about matching food and wine. My wife and I do catering on the side, and this is an important aspect of catering. All the pairing in each course was obviously carefully planned out. The attention to detail made for a great marriage of food and wine.

 The wine. Waterbrook is one of my favorite Washington wineries. Quality wine that exceeds the price point always. The gentleman from the winery was most gracious with his time talking to me. I really enjoyed that. Adding that personal touch is great when enjoying a winery's wine.

The hosts (yourself and forgive me I don't remember the name of the gentleman that gave me that wonderful bottle of wine). Both of you were first rate hosts and hostesses. Your interaction with the patrons is huge from a diners viewpoint. Both of you were such personable and kind people. Now the price. What a price! Talking about over delivering. For $65 this was a tremendous deal!! Talk about giving people their moneys worth!

Overall, this was one of the most memorable nights out in a long, long time. I really look forward to being a patron at your establishment again and again. Please thank your staff for me for the wonderful evening. Please thank as well the gentlemen who gave me the bottle of wine. That was certainly not expected and he was far too kind!
Also, If you could give Mr. Ranninger my email address as I would really like to get that shrimp recipe from him if he's willing to do so. I would really love to talk to him again about food pairing. I mentioned to him if he'd like, I'll bring some of my home made salsa in for you and your associates next time I'm in your restaurant. This was carried at Costco for alomost two years.

Again, my regards and best to your staff on a fantastic evening. If I can do anything to help you Kaaren, please let me know.

Have a great day!
Cheers,

Michael Campos
