A Pictorial Tour...(with a little commentary):
Helping to Fight Women's Cancer
One Bottle at a Time
On April 6th, a FUNdraising event was held to raise money for the Revlon Walk Against Women's Cancer. It would not have been the success it was were it not for a group of caring, incredible winemakers.....This blog post is a THANK YOU for your help.
You are not only the best of the Paso winemakers...but you are simply the best people, you are people who care! I am honored to count you as friends and to drink and share your wines, and so grateful that you joined my fundraising effort and helped make this event a smashing success!
Bring a Bottle To Share and FUNdraiser Afternoon
Among the bottles people brought to share, sip and enjoy with each other during the afternoon and into the evening included (but were not limited to): Plumpjack Chardonnay, Seghesio Zinfandel, Saxum Booker Syrah, Clos Solene Homage A Nos Pairs, Onx Mad Crush, Donnhoff Riesling, Torrin Banshee, Epoch Zinfandel, Sextant Night Watch, Curtes Pecorino, Alta Colina, Bouchard Aine & Fils Beaune Premier Cru, Cuvee No. 734 Jacquesson Brut Champagne, Daou 1740 and about another dozen bottles, mostly from Paso...but also including Napa, Sonoma, Italy, France...it was simply a wine lovers delight!
And then there was the food...OHHH...SOOO much GOOD food...and desserts. But the guests and their enthusiasm made this a happening.....and at the end of the day....Thanks to the gracious contributions made by the winemakers below....over $2100 was raised...to be donated to the EIF REVLON RUN/WALK AGAINST WOMEN'S CANCER, for credit to Team: Double D's!
For those who have not had the pleasure of enjoying these fine wines, look for the labels below in your specialty wine store, at your favorite restaurant or in Paso Robles.....taste what Paso is all about when you taste these fine wines! And when you visit Paso Robles, try to meet some of these incredible people.
Cheers,
