Additional wine events the week preceding the auction include intimate winemaker dinners at some of Portland’s best restaurants from March 2nd to 4th.

The week prior to the gala, more than 25 winemaker dinners will feature the finest chefs in Portland and Southwest Washington paired with winemakers from Oregon, Washington and California.

The Classic Wines Auction board works with five area nonprofits to benefit from the proceeds of the 2010 auction events: Friends of the Children – Portland, Metropolitan Family Service, New Avenues for Youth, Trillium Family Services and YWCA Clark County.

“Watching our community raise funds for programs that will improve the lives of children and families is the most memorable part of the annual auction,” said executive director Heather Martin. “We touch thousands of lives as a direct result of our wine events. It is amazing to watch so many people giving to make life a bit brighter for those in our community who are in need.”

ERNST LOOSEN ONE OF HONORARY WINE AMBASSADORS
