Annual French & Italian Wine Buying Fundraiser
Benefiting the Auburn State Theatre Restoration
Join us in time for the holidays. Once again Pete and Pat Enochs will host this fundraiser with Todd Bertz, of Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, leading the tasting. As we have in the past we will focus on wines from France and Italy.
Kermit Lynch is known for importing wines that express their terroir. Learn more about Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant by visiting kermitlynch.com.
This year due to renovations at the Theatre, the tasting will be at the First Congregational Church in their Fireside Room. We will continue to present the wines classroom style. Todd will share information as we taste them. Todd’s presentation is very entertaining and informative with visuals and stories of each wine. There will be light palate cleansers served throughout the tasting.
At the end of the tasting we will place our orders. You will pay that night (if you pay with cash or check the theatre will not have to pay CC fees). Pick up of the wines will be at the Theatre the following Saturday & Sunday, in time for Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas gatherings.
- We will have 9 or more wines to taste: A Champagne, a couple whites, a Rosé and 5 or more reds. These wines are perfect for the holidays – from crowd pleasers to special gift giving or dinners.
- Location: First Congregational Church of Auburn, Fireside Room, 710 Auburn Ravine Road, Auburn, Ca
- Eating a light dinner or snack helps the body be ready for tasting wine.
- No cologne or perfume please; fragrance does not allow one to taste the wine properly.
