The 2025 Bastille Day dinner of the Memphis Wine and Food Society was held July 14th, 2025 at the Memphis Hunt and Polo Club. A large group of members and guests gathered for what has become one of the best events of the year. As custom , only French wines were served at the Bastille Day dinner. The ample pours encouraged broad participation of the singing of La Marseillaise later in the evening. Although the club is normally closed on Monday , the club's management allowed the event to be held on Bastille Day with a full staff providing outstanding service! While appetizers are often not mentioned , the evening began with The Polo Club's famous fried oysters and ahi tuna wontons as everyone enjoyed champagne and apertif wines. Excellent meal with terrific French wines in a lovely setting allowed for a very nice celebration.
