Can you post more specifics about the event here? Sounds interesting, and the price is pretty damn cheap!

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been out of town for work.

We've had a few wine tastings, and they've been a lot of fun. We try to select wines around a theme - this time the wines will all be summery whites from countries that the Andersons visited. If weather permits we'll serve the wine in our recently-rennovated garden. The museum and some behind-the-scenes spaces will be open, and we'll have docents and museum staff available. A staff member from Ace Beverage will pour and talk about the wines and we will have light refreshments. We're looking forward to it!
