Benefit Wine Tasting October 2

Local wine tastings are a great way to explore and learn about what you like in wine while at the same time helping an organization.  If you live in southern CT, Anthony's Ocean View, New Haven probably host 2 or 3 a week for various local charity.  Prices range from $30 to $50, but with that you not only get access to some really great wines, but also a smorgasbord of food ranging from several types of pastas to hot & cold hors d'oeuvres to chocolate fountains.  If you happen to be in the area, I'll be attending one on October 2nd.

"M.T.A Scholarship Fund is a privately funded scholarship program for Catholic Schools in New Haven's East Side.

M.T.A. Scholarship Fund's purpose is not only to assist children in our community by providing tuition assistance to low-and moderate-income families.  We are giving families an opportunity to choose their children's future, but also to demonstrate that community-based approaches can revolutionize the educational system and improve the quality of education that children recieve.Please join us at Anthony's Ocean View and sample wines from premium Domestic and Imported Wineries coordinated in conjunction with a local wine purveyor while you enjoy a feast prepared by Anthony's Ocean View of scrumptious hot and cold Hors D'oeuvres.
$30 per ticket
Contact Sal Decola at 203.641.1857 for tickets and/or donations."

 

Usually at an event like this you'll sample anywhere from 40 to 60 different wines.  Not a ton, but enough that it won't overwhelm your pallet.
