Wilton Library invites wine lovers and foodies to its sixth annual Wine Tasting Benefit and Restaurant Showcase on Thursday, March 26, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.. Participants will be able to see, swirl, sniff and sip their way through wines from around the world while enticing their palates with offerings from Barcelona SoNo, Bianco Rosso, Little Pub, Luca Ristorante, Marly’s Bar & Bistro, Oak + Almond, Portofino Restaurant & Bar, and Wave Hill Breads. New Canaan Wine Merchants is providing the wines for this fun social gathering; Bankwell in Wilton also is a sponsor, and Wilton Magazine is the media sponsor.
“In a winter that has been so punishing, this might be the right time for everyone to step out of hibernation and visit with their friends and neighbors again,” said Robin Axness, development director for Wilton Library. “Guests will have delicious wines to sample, delectable hors d’oeuvres from eight local restaurants and food purveyors to savor, and this wonderful organization will benefit from it all, she added.”
Tickets for the event are $50 per person. The fundraiser is limited to 125 people, therefore purchasing tickets in advance is recommended. They can be purchased by calling Jennifer Wallace at 203-762-3950, ext. 239; by visiting the library’s website for a registration form that can be returned to the Circulation Desk; or by buying tickets at the door the night of the event if they are still available. In addition to ticket sales, ten percent of the wine sales from the evening also will benefit Wilton Library. Free wine delivery will be available from New Canaan Wine Merchants.
Wilton Library is located at 137 Old Ridgefield Rd.. For information or directions, visit www.wiltonlibrary.org or call 203.762.3950.
