The Penfolds Champagne Reception

The Penfolds Champagne Reception kicks off the festivities at 11am in the Terrace Room.  The room is a-buzz  with BABC Members and their guests. It’s a time to celebrate the season and to re-connect with friends old and new and to enjoy the exquisite  Penfolds NV Brut Cuvee Champagne.  Our sincere thanks to Penfolds for so generously donating the Champagne for all to enjoy.  We also thank the Lagunitas Brewing Company for providing their scrumptious beer!
