Wine With Heart
More
than 50 wineries help raise money for heart-related medical research
 SANTA CRUZ—Drink wine, do good. It's not a bad proposition,
as nearly all of the Santa Cruz mountain's 50 plus wineries pitch
in to pour at the annual Wine With Heart auction. The event will
be held at the Crowne Plaza in Palo Alto, CA from 1 to 4pm, May
7, 2006.
This is one
of the few events where tasters can sample such a wide breadth of Santa Cruz
wines, paired with appetizers from some of the area's best restaurants. The
event also includes a silent and oral auction featuring wines
of the Santa Cruz mountains. But the real meaning behind all
the fun is the more than $100,000 (or more) raised for the Stanford
Vascular Research Center and American Heart Association. The
monies help fund research and education used to diagnose and
treat heart ailments.
If you go: Tickets are $35 in advance and $45 at the door, but organizers
warn that the event almost always sells out, so buy early. For reservations
or for more information contact the Santa Cruz Mountains Winegrowers
Association at (831) 479-WINE (9463) or send e-mail to: info@scmwa.com.
