PAST WEEK:  The Steak Roast and Wine Tasting event held at the Heidelberg Distribution Center on Pleasant Valley was special, indeed.  There was a great turn out!  The food was good and the wine expertise shown by Heidelberg’s manager, Todd was exceptional.  He directed our folks in selecting just the right wine for their tastes.  The steaks, grilled by chef, Chris and asst chef Pete melted in your mouth.  Judging from the laughter and conversation everyone seemed to be having a great time!
