Recap of Wine Tasting

Filed under: Party - Party 4 a Cause @ 3:52 pm

We had a great time hosting everyone at our 1st Party 4 a Cause wine tasting - Taste of Charity. I hope everyone had a chance to sample all of the wines, the food, and make some new friends.

Some quotes from the party:
“My favorite bottle was wine #1, I think I’m going to get a couple of bottles.” - Ed
“Great job with the event. It was a lot of fun. Impressed…” - Julie

We had 45 people attend, and raised a little under $1,000!

All of the money will go to the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity for the redevelopment of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Gustav. Josh Lockwood from Habitat for Humanity - NYC came by, and educated us on the work that Habitat has been doing in New Orleans and in NYC, and brought over a great clip telling us the story of one family in NYC.

Stay tuned for information about our next party, which is slated to be at Stitch NYC on November 14. It’s a 90s party!!!

Many thanks to the following:
- Josh Lockwood from Habitat for Humanity - NYC
- Gina Stilp and the staff from the New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity
- The Moore Brothers Wine Company, Katherine Moore, and our sommelier, Greg Moore; Thank you for your generous donation of a full evening of wine tasting and education.
- Jess, Amy, Stan, and Aileen; Thank you for helping put this event together and helping out the day of.
- Jennifer Altman and Paul Sullivan from the NY Times
