Wine Tasting Benefit for The Wooden Floor

September 17, 2013

Wine lovers can gather at the Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach on Thursday, Sept. 26 for the 7th annual Keep the Promise: A Wine Tasting Benefit for The Wooden Floor.

Guests can taste 14 exquisite wines from around the world, each averaging 96 points and retailing at up to $180 a bottle. All wines have 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.

Wines will be paired with artfully prepared hearty hors d’oeuvres. The evening will conclude with a French Champagne toast of the 1996 R&L Legras Blanc de Blancs Cuvee Saint-Vincent, rated 97 points by noted Swedish Champagne critic Richard Juhlin.

We are also giving away a pair of tickets to The Wooden Floor benefit. Simply leave a comment on our Facebook page. We will announce the winner Tuesday, Sept. 24.

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.
