The Wave . . . of American Flavors has an exciting evening planned for the March Tables in Wonderland Discovery Dinner.  This month's Discovery Dinner will be celebrating the Central Florida Strawberry Season. Our Farmer/Chef dinner will feature Lott Farms, located just west of Plant City, Florida.  Mike and Sandy Lott started their farm in 1979 on rented land. In 1983 purchased and built their 50 acre family farm. They have lived on and farmed this land with their children and grandchildren ever since. Mike's great strawberries are sold under the Classic label through C&D Produce Distributors.

 

Our wine speaker, Tim Mahr is the Vice-President of Southern States. He is a native New Yorker and has made Tampa, Florida his home for the last 25 years.  Tim is a graduate of the Conrad Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management at the University of Houston.  Upon completion, he held the position of Cellar Master at the Mansion on Turtle Creek, Dallas, Texas. There, he was responsible for over 800 wines and achieved The Wine Spectator Grand Award for their wine list.  After 4 years, Tim joined Glazer's Distributing as Fine Wine Manager for Central Texas.  In 1989, Remy Martin Cognac and Antinori Tuscan Wines recruited Tim to be their Fine Account Specialist for Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern states, residing in Washington DC.  Tim always had passion around representing a California Winery, so in 1990 he joined the Benham Brothers and assisted in the development of popular brands known today, which include; Blackstone and Mark West wines.  Upon the sale of these wine brands to Constellation Wines - US, Tim accepted a position as CW-US's Sales Manager for Southeastern States.  In 2007, Tim was reunited with Courtney Benham, now proprietor of Martin Ray Winery, and continues to assist Courtney and their winemaking team in producing and marketing Martin Ray, Angeline and Courtney Benham Wines.
