Wine Tasting for a Cause
Last fall, a friend of mine and fellow Cincinnati area wine blogger Michelle Lentz lost her sister, Krystal Pepper, due to a congenital heart defect. In an effort to honor Krystal’s memory, her friends and family have established a memorial scholarship in her name and are working to raise $25,000 in the next three years to fund the scholarship.
They have been organizing various events to raise money for the fund and on September 11 from 6-8 PM they are having a wine tasting fundraiser at The Party Source in Bellevue, KY.
The cost is $40 per person and includes paired cheeses, a flight of 6 reds, and education about the wines. 100% of the proceeds will go towards the scholarship.
The focus of the event will be red wines from up and coming, young French winemakers and up and coming French wine regions.
The event is limited to 30 people and is filling up fast. Tickets must be pre-purchased via online registration.
It sounds like a great event. I plan to attend and I suggest you do as well. Visit the Krystal Pepper Scholarship Fund website to register.
