Auction of Washington Wines

For the past number of years, Alex and I have been participating in the Auction of Washington Wines.  My interest was sparked years ago while at Citigroup when I handled coordination of a $25K corporate gift on behalf of Citi.  Since then, we have attended a few picnics, a couple of winemaker dinners and this year we were invited to join our friends table at the gala auction.  It turned out to be an electrifying event that raised $2.25 million for the uncompensated care fund for Children's Hospital.  We drank amazing wine and ate delicious food and mingled with old friends and made a lot of new friends.  If you have a chance to attend any or all of the events next year, it is well worth it.  And best of all it's for the children...
