The Recipe for a Successful Evening – Take a pinch of Italian delicacies, mix them carefully with an outstanding selection of Texan wines and add a coup of Dallas history. Mix these ingredients and you will have the 4^th Annual Holiday and Member Appreciation Event of the German American Chamber of Commerce - North Texas Chapter.  No preheating necessary.

This year’s event took place at Swirrl Winery which is located in the historic Davis building in downtown Dallas. The 20 story building was constructed as home to the Republic National Bank in 1925 and was an early building for Texas Instruments. Larry Hamilton, the building's owner and the man responsible for copious downtown make overs, offered guests a tour of the hip lofts and the roof top terrace with its beautiful view of the Dallas skyline.

Thanks to Jimmy’s Food Store the members of the GACC North Texas Chapter and The Young Executive Committee enjoyed a delicious buffet with Italian classics like Mozzarella Caprese, a selected variety of Italian Salami and cheeses. The perfect ending to a perfect night was the bottle, cork and cap wine that Swirll exclusively made for the event and a sample of German ginger bread packed in a traditional German nut cracker shaped metal box sponsored by the German Deli. Guests also had the chance to win Dallas Star tickets drawing compliments of Eugene Flynn, attorney and counselor at law. The lucky winner was Jens Mueller.
