Sea Trail Gourmet Group             Pat and Rudy Gambarelli started the Gourmet Group in January 1998.  Twenty eight  couples took the plunge.   Since 1998, we have prepared  many delicious gourmet dinners. Membership in the gourmet group is open to all residents of Sea Trail.  Dinner groups meet four times a year, twice in the fall and twice in the spring.  The host couple prepares the main course, the other three couples bring the appetizer, 1st course and the dessert.  Each couple brings a bottle of wine to the host house.  The host couple confers with the other three couples to decide on a mutually agreeable date for the dinner.  The groups follow a rotation plan that gives everyone the opportunity to meet and dine with new couples each time. Every year a Christmas party and a summer picnic take place at the Pink Palace for  approximately 100 members. Pat provides the recipes, Ellen Lehrer e-mails them to each group, the hostess then contacts the other three couples to arrive at a mutually agreeable date. Aside from the food and wine, breaking bread with your neighbor is a lovely way to spend an evening.
