Special Fundraiser and Wine Tasting Event (7.22.10)

(From The Wine Garden)

“PLEASE HELP SAVE OUR WILDLIFE!”

This Friday, July 23rd from 6~8:00 p.m., The Wine Garden is holding a very special fundraiser and Wine Tasting Event to benefit the

Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary.

The devastating Gulf Oil Spill is taking its toll on ALL bird sanctuaries from here to Louisiana. They help clean, feed and nourish these fragile birds back to health and release them into their own habitat.

It has been a grueling job for the employees and all of the volunteers that have shown up to support the effort. Here at the Wine Garden, we want to show our support too, to help raise funds for our local agency that is doing a tremendous job with all the wildlife brought to them.

Our wine tasting event is going to be very special this Friday evening.

We have 4 small distributors from vineyards around the world pouring a marvelous array of vino, at least 20 varietals or more!

We also have awesome appetizers being served by Sea Hags Bar & Grille, located here on St. Pete Beach.

Another special feature is our very own local artist, Bobby Smith, will be here entertaining everyone with all of your favorite tunes.

Bobby has written and produced a fantastic piece about the oil spill that will top all of the music charts soon!

Come and hear it live for yourself this Friday!

A truly great cause, wonderful wine, live music and delicious food.

The cost is $10.00 per person; receive $2.00 off any first bottle of wine purchased of $10.95 or more.

Be sure and tell your friends and neighbors, we hope to see you!
