Wine in the Pines

 For the past 12 years, my family has attended the Wine in the Pines fundraiser for Cerebral Palsy of Colorado. The event is spread over two nights. The first night is held at the Keystone Ranch where the chef pairs amazing foods with wonderful wines. This years theme was The Godfather in honor of the Francis Ford Coppala wines that were the featured vineyard.

 My mom, sister and I continue this traditional event in memory of my father. He loved this event so much that, although dying of prostate cancer, he lived long enough to attend one last time. He passed away 10 days later.

 My beautiful mom enjoying Friday night festivities. She is the sponsor for our family to attend this event. Thanks, mom!!

 Our table was full of party goers. Wonderful wine, food and people all coming together to support one great cause.

 Judy is the organizer of this event. She does an amazing job, year after year. She has become a dear friend of the family.

 Saturday night is held at the Keystone convention center. This event draws people from all over to taste wines and eat food sponsored by many local restaurants. My hubby and I are all dressed up for this black tie event.

 Mike's daughter, Kelley, is the inspiration for this wonderful event. In spite of having CP, Kelley has gone on to live a productive life giving back to society. What an inspiration she is!!!

L-R Randy Hart, Tracy Hart, my sister, me, Scott Field. The four of us had a wonderful time on Saturday night. My brother-in-law, Randy, won several wines at the silent auction. If you would like to attend this fabulous event next October, go to Wine in the Pines. I hope to see you there next year!
