Going
Once, Going Twice, SOLD!
With champagne flowing and
lively bidding, the 27th Annual Rare & Fine Wine Auction was certainly a
night to remember! Guests arrived dressed to the nines and began the
champagne toasts while perusing the live and silent auction items. Wines of rare offerings, large formats, and
coveted vintages were on display and wine trips and multi-course dinners were
sold throughout the night. A great time
was had by all before the special night came to a close. Drum roll, please…
And we are proud to
announce that the foundation raised $260,000 to be used for our good
works including culinary scholarships, educational grants, and a gift to The Texas
Hunger Initiative and No Kid
Hungry to help end childhood hunger in Texas.
We are extremely grateful
to our Champagne Reception sponsors H-E-B and Moet
Hennessy as well as those who supplied the wines for dinner: Cape Classics, Hahn Family Wines, Moet
Hennessy, and Retour
Wines. Many thanks are also in order for The Four
Seasons, TexSom sommeliers,
our volunteers, auctioneers and spotters, and our Auction Committee, all
without whom this night would not be possible!
And of course, thanks to
you all for joining us for such a wonderful evening full of friends, fun, and
plenty of wine!
