23rd Annual A Celebration of Wine- 89.1 WUFT-FM
Enjoy a glass (or 10) of wine to support public radio. Sound like a novel? While it might look like a re-imagined scene from the Great Gatsby, it’s the Grape Gatsby we’re talking about, and it’s real life on Sunday, Feb. 19.
Florida’s 89.1 WUFT-FM is hosting the 23rd Annual A Celebration of Wine from 1 to 4 pm on in the Grand Ballroom in the Reitz Union on the University of Florida campus. The event offers more than 300 wines from international vendors and vineyards. Food will be provided from local favorites such as The Wine & Cheese Gallery, Mildred’s Big City Food and Classic Fare Catering. And, since you’ll be feeling especially festive, you are invited to dress up for the ‘Roaring 20s’ theme.
“There will be something for everyone,” says Sue Wagner, who is in charge of communications at WUFT. “It’s a fun way to enjoy wine and learn about it at the same time.”
Silent and live auctions will take place throughout the afternoon, featuring items such as special vintages from wineries, unique bottles and vino-themed art from local artists. All proceeds will benefit 89.1 WUFT-FM. Tickets are $55 in advance and $60 at the door. More at www.celebrationofwine.org.
