Rare Wines Tasting Benefit for The Wooden Floor

09.04.15

Wine lovers can gather at the Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 6 p.m. for the 9th annual Keep the Promise: Wine Tasting Benefit for The Wooden Floor.

Guests can taste 12 exquisite wines from around the world, each averaging 97 points and retailing up to $225 a bottle. All wines have been generously collected and donated by Newport Beach residents John and Janice Markley.

The benefit helps support The Wooden Floor, an arts-based youth development nonprofit in Santa Ana that has served more than 75,000 low-income youth since its inception. In fact, 100 percent of its graduates complete high school on-time and immediately enroll in college. Across the past eight years, this Benefit has raised over $1.4 million, netting more than $300,000 last year alone, to help support students’ journeys out of poverty through access to higher education.

Wines will be paired with artfully prepared hearty hors d’oeuvres.

We are also giving away a pair of tickets to The Wooden Floor benefit. Simply follow us on Instagram @dailydoseoc and tag 3 friends on our post announcing the contest. We will announce the winner Friday, Sept. 11, 2015.

Cost is $350 per person, $250 of which is tax deductible. RSVP at 714.541.8314 ext. 124, or TheWoodenFloor.org.

Big Canyon Country Club is at One Big Canyon Drive in Newport Beach.
