Fundraiser Wine Tasting in Baltimore

[Choirgirl21]

This Saturday there's a wine tasting in Baltimore that is a fundraiser for a local private school that helps inner city kids (more info about the school below). The event is from 4-7 pm at Loyola College. Last year I would say there were at least 100 wines being poured, some local MD wines, but mostly wines from around the world poured by local distributors. The main sponsor of the event and organizer of the wine portion is the owner of Grand Cru (also of Woodberry Grill for those of you into the Baltimore food scene). The event is going to be larger this year so I am hoping there will be even more wines to taste. There will also be snacks (cheese and crackers, etc.) and a large auction with a lot of great items. Tickets are $45 each and can be purchased online or at the door. Here's a link.

The school, for those interested, is called Mother Seton Academy. It's a private middle school in Baltimore City that takes inner city low-income children who have potential to do really well in the right environment out of those schools and puts them into this school where they stay with the same until "graduation". The kids do really well there. The event is worth the money in and of itself imo - that the money goes to a good cause is a bonus.
