Cooking for Love...rocked!

Just a quick note as I am too tired to think clearly at the moment...

I was proud to be the Event Sommelier for Cooking for Love, a spectacular event to benefit Break the Cycle. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you to all the wineries who participated!

It was an extraordinary evening, and I am honored to say that I have been asked to return next year in the same capacity. 


Those who poured or who were poured:

• Bedford Winery
• Chamisal Vineyards
• Collier Falls Winery
• Laraneta
• Le Grande Courtage
• Martian Ranch and Vineyards
• Naked Grape
• Roadhouse Winery
• Shai Cellars

Those who donated wine to the silent auction:

• Brian Benson Cellars
• Dark Star Cellars
• Tablas Creek

Thanks also to Patel Winery - who were already part of the event prior to my signing on as Event Sommelier.

Thanks to all the amazing restauranteurs and specialty foodies who prepared gorgeous and delicious taste treats!

Thanks to DJ Danny Farrell who kept things moving!

The event raised more than $75,000 by the end of the evening. It was awe-inspiring to see so many people coming out on a Sunday evening to support this deserving charity.

I'll be posting more pictures on Facebook after I get some sleep!
