Upcoming Fundraiser- Grapes for Good with Mandi Nelson

So, so let me, let me kind of rewind a little bit on how last year went.

So I participated, um, I was pouring wines.

I believe I was pouring some delicious, uh, Pinot Bianco from a canteen that's Rolando and Alto Adige.

Thank you Banville, uh, for, for providing that wine, um, Banville imports.

Um, Or sorry, Banville Wine Merchants, I think is what, I can't remember.

Yes, Banville Wine Merchants, yes.

Yeah, forgive me for that.

But what was really great is you had, so all these tables set up, there's some seriously amazing wines that are being poured.

So VIP ticket holders have one thing or general ticket holders, you definitely get to taste all of those wines.

And then y'all had like a VIP bar set up where even like, I don't know what to say, but like, you know, really big format, like large format magnums, bigger than that of different things from Bordeaux to Burgundy's to all sorts of really cool, um, special wines were opened.

And so if you had that VIP ticket, you could get those special pours.

Um, but it, so this was at Wanderlust, which is on the East side.

Um, Right.

And such a phenomenal venue for an event like this.

It felt like it was packed last year.

We sold out.

We sold out last year.

It's crazy.

Well, and, you know, everyone had such a good, like, everyone had really rallied around to support that particular, gosh, I mean, tragedy that was happening.

or that had happened.

So it felt really great to have everybody in that room.

And yes, we were trying really great wine.

So we definitely benefited in many ways, but to know where that was going.

So not only are tickets sold, so you can get general admission, you can get VIP, but at the event, one of the things that I found that everybody was super excited to do was like the ring toss that was happening.

Like there were all these games, right? Like the ring toss was on fire.
