Holiday Wine Tasting Benefit

BETHEL — A Holiday Wine Tasting Extravaganza will be held at Western Connecticut State University on Sunday, November 4, from 3 to 7 pm. This third annual event will benefit student scholarships at the university.

This occasion has been tremendously successful in years past, raising approximately $35,000 for university scholarships. More than 300 area residents attended last year, enjoying an afternoon of wine, food, and jazz.

This year’s program will spotlight wines from Italy, France, and Spain. The experience will include more than 125 different wines from around the world.

Nutmeg Discount Liquors, in conjunction with Bethel Food Market, has organized the event as a part of a continuing commitment to the Western Connecticut State University Student Scholarship Fund, a permanent endowment to the university.

The Holiday Wine Tasting will be held at Warner Hall at the University’s Midtown Campus. An abundance of elegant hors d’oeuvres will be donated by Emerald City Café and Wood Dining Service. A student jazz ensemble will provide entertainment.

Donations are $35 and reservations can be made by calling 203-837-8298 before October 29.
