Wine Tasting a Huge Success
Our first Uncorking of Opportunites Wine Tasting at the California State Military Museum was a roaring success.
Over 80 friends, supports and DVBE attended. Barbara McCue of Surewest spent most of the day with us and took a number of the logoed wine glasses with her to pass out to the staff at Surewest.
The highlight of the tasting was Vineyard 208, a DVBE, and Stick Boy wines poured by Royce Gotcher, father of our communications director, Lauren Gotcher.
We look forward to our next event. We encourage you to visit the California State Military Museum. See the link here on the right side panel.
