2012 Artistry of Wine
|
On June 14th, Foundation Fighting Blindness trustees, Barbara & Joel Stone and Bruce Grieve, hosted the 11th Annual Artistry of Wine event at the Green acres Country Club in Northbrook. We had sunny skies, over 200 guests, and plenty of great food and a superb selection of wine & spirits. With over 60 baskets in our Silent Auction this year, guests were lined up and eager to bid on some fantastic items. We had a lovely tasting palette this year with four new tasting stations in addition to ten restaurants that have attended in previous years. Artistry of Wine would not have been possible without the leadership of our event chairs Joel & Barbara Stone, our Honorary chair Bruce Grieve, and the entire planning committee. Leading sponsors include: Gordon & Llura Gund, Joel & Barbara Stone, Fields Auto Group, and Leo Burnett Worldwide. Another big thank you to our sponsors, donors and attendees who helped make this year’s event a huge success. With everyone’s devoted work we surpassed our goal of $60,000 and have hit $63,753 with money still coming in- what an incredible success! Artistry of Wine is a tasting of fine spring fare prepared by Chicagoland’s premier chefs and perfectly paired with a splendid selection of wine & spirits.
