There were also more that 250 premiere wines and award winning local brewers presented for sampling.
Proceeds benefit the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation, an organization dedicated to fighting congenital heart disease by raising funds for the most promising research, spreading awareness, and showing love and support to the children and families impacted by CHD’s.
