'Tis The Season -Menu For Hope III

'Tis the season to eat, drink, and be merry, but not all of us six billion souls on the planet can eat, drink, and be merry. For the past two years, wine and food bloggers, a merry bunch who eat and drink a lot, have done an online fundraiser for those less fortunate. Last year over $17,000 was raised. This year the beneficiary will be, appropriately, the World Food Programme. Organized by Pim of Chez Pim and Alder Yarrow of Vinography, there are dozens of cool items to bid on from around the world including some twenty-two wine items.

I've donated a custom designed itinerary for your tour of Washington's Wine Country geared to your preferences and travel dates. You will have the opportunity to visit small little known wineries where you will be able to taste and purchase wines that are not generally available. You will be able to taste some of Washington's greatest wines whether they be from Red Mountain, Walla Walla, the Yakima Valley or Seattle and Woodinville. This will be an unforgettable experience for you and your friends. Please note that this item includes consultation and information only. You will be responsible for making your own reservations and travel arrangements. It's going to be a great trip! Value - $100. Code - WB 15.
