Wine sampling was provided by Marquis Wine Cellars, La Vieux Pin and La Stella Winery, while The Lazy Gourmet provided elegant cocktail bites. A live auction also got people digging deep into their pockets for a weekend escape riding a Maserati to the Sparkling Hill Resort or Whistler Four Seasons Hotel.
The Grape Juice Wine Auction was founded by McNeill Nakamoto Recruitment Group and MAC Marketing Solutions in 2008. Congratulations on another successful year!
