Hi-Time Wine Cellars Tour de Napa
02.03.20
For the 3rd year in a row, Hi-Time Wine Cellars will bring Napa Valley’s finest wineries together on Saturday, February 8th to pour over 100 different wines at Crevier Classic Cars in Costa Mesa. Attendees will indulge in the top wines that the valley has to offer from 4:30-7 p.m., while listening to live music, enjoying hors d’oeuvres, perusing vintage cars and interacting with winemakers, sommeliers, and industry leaders.
Curated by Hi-Time Wine Cellars’ North American buyer, Dan Williams, the list of wineries participating is growing daily. Highlights include Cade, Caymus, Louis M. Martini, Orin Swift, Rombauer, and Silver Oak. New additions include Paradigm, Patz & Hall and Robert Biale. The wines being poured that night will be available for purchase at a 10% discount off regular retail prices to be picked up at Hi-Time Wine Cellars at a later date.
A portion of the proceeds from the evening will once again benefit The Napa Valley Community Foundation and their tireless work to enhance the quality of life for everyone in Napa. Due to the overwhelming success of the previous two-year’s tastings, Hi-Time Wine Cellars has been able to donate $25,000 to aide their local community.
General Admission tickets are $100 and allow entrance from 4:30-7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in-store at Hi-Time Wine Cellars or online at www.hitimewine.net
Crevier Classic Cars is located at 365 Clinton St, Costa Mesa.

Fire Destroys working Wardrobes Headquarters in Irvine
02.03.20
I’m so sorry to report that a fire broke out at the Working Wardrobes headquarters in Irvine early Sunday morning. It was several hours before firefighters could access the building. Everything was destroyed by this fire.
“We are absolutely devastated by this catastrophic loss, the heart of our operations is gone and so is 30 years of history,” said Jerri Rosen, Founder and CEO, after the fire. “We are grateful and relieved to report that no one was hurt or in the building at the time of the fire.”
Approximately 100 firefighters were at the scene. No injuries were reported. Working Wardrobes was in this 22,000-square-foot building since 2016. Everything has been destroyed, including:
- Donation Center: Large warehouse filled with racks, bins, and boxes filled with thousands of donations. Including jackets, pants, shirts, blouses, ties, shoes, jewelry and additional accessories. Home goods, office supplies, etc.
- Career Center: Computer labs where clients worked to research and apply for jobs online, training rooms and IT computer lab. Plus, the VetNet team and program for veterans, SCSEP program for seniors, all client services for women, men, young adults, and all wardrobing services.
- Corporate Office: Entire operations of Working Wardrobes
They are determined to work with their employees, volunteers and the Orange County community to rebuild and continue to fulfill their purpose of helping men, women, young adults and veterans overcome difficult challenges so they can achieve the dignity of work.
Financial donations are what they need the most to rebuild and continue to provide services to veterans, seniors, and unemployed get back into the workforce.
To make a financial donation, visit: workingwardrobes.org/donate.
Their friends at Goodwill have stepped up to provide a temporary home in one of their facilities at 1601 E St Andrew Pl. Santa Ana. They are so grateful for their support and partnership. Much will change for us over the next few months as we start our journey over, but they know the strength of our friends and supporters will buoy us.
