for the love of wine

The wine event was a great success!

A HUGE thank you to Jessica and Matthew! Not only did they organize the event, they graciously donated the food and some bottles of wine. Together they created a wonderful four course meal paired with the perfect wines. While Jessica presented each wine describing it's origin, Matthew prepared the courses (each with a unique blend of tastes) and described each pairing. Together they make the perfect team! If you ever need an event put together, they're the people for the job. 

Another BIG thank you goes to Ryta from The Naked Grape. She kindly allowed us to use her restaurant, discounted the wine and also donated  the final course - filet mignon (which was unbelievable)! 

Thank you to Bobby and Liz for helping out with the event. It was greatly appreciated! And thank you to everyone who joined us. It was great meeting meeting so many wonderful people! 

With everyone's generosity and help we were able to raise $1,103!!!!
