Hi Connie, sounds like a great event for a very worthy cause, however, with so many different wines to tast, moderation is the key.
John - I'm on the committee and I can assure you that we've arranged for a lot of taxicabs to be on stand-by to get the people home!
Connie,
We just attend a similar event here in Katy for charity. These are such fun events I wish I lived close enough to attend. I love wine so I would probably bid on some wine and I love the Big Brothers and Big Sister organizations! Hope it turns out fantastic!
Yolanda - This is one of my favorite charities. I train with Team Rio each year for the Country Music Marathon and we raise money for them. This should be great this year!!
Hi Connie - 300 wines to taste. Wow call me that taxi.
A wine festival and a good cause? It sounds like a perfect combination.

Conrad - No joke! I'm going to go through the list and only taste the "good" ones. LOL
Christine - Wine Festivals are always such fun! There are some good restaurants too!
Leesa - Olivia, one vieing for Queen of the Vine hosed a race for men in High Heels! I think she' raised the most so far!
