Wine Tasting Benefit for the Wooden Floor
08.11.14
Wine lovers can gather at the Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach on Thursday, Sept. 25 for the 8th annual Keep the Promise: Wine Tasting Benefit for The Wooden Floor.
Guests can taste 12 exquisite wines from around the world, each averaging 95 points and retailing up to $223 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 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.
Wines will be paired with artfully prepared hearty hors d’oeuvres. The evening will include three DuMOL wines among the 12 featured in the "blind tasting," which are regularly served at White House and state dinners and routinely sell out before even hitting the market.
We are also giving away a pair of tickets to The Wooden Floor benefit. Simply like @greers_oc and leave a comment on our Instagram post announcing the contest. We will announce the winner Monday, Aug. 25.
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.
