In early November, we made our annual journey west with the 2012 Co-chairs and several committee members to visit a few of our favorite vineyards and vintners. After five days of amazing tours, tastings, and meals, we were all wined out! Photos do not do justice to the gorgeous views and sights we saw, but we are so excited to share them with you. Cheers!

On Tuesday, July 12th your faithful Wine Auction leaders headed over to Murphy’s to greet friends Andy Wilcox of Lambert Bridge and Steve Reynolds of Reynolds Family Winery for an evening of wine tasting, picture slideshows and gregarious conversations.
Each label poured made our palettes happy and soon we didn’t know if we were smiling because of the wine or because of Andy’s Lambert Bridge slideshow that included some of their favorite ambassadors – their beloved canines — or if it was Steve’s story of how out-of-town gentlemen never really know how to dress for Atlanta’s diverse dining scene. Note to Steve – if you’re bringing the wine, it doesn’t matter what you wear! Thank you to Andy, Steve, and Murphy’s for a wonderful evening!
