Wine in the Pines

Wine In The Pines is a wonderful fundraiser for Cerebral Palsy.  My family has attended this event for 12 years. It means a lot to my family. My father loved this event so much that when he was dying of prostate cancer, he willed himself to live long enough to attend it one last time. A week and a half later, he was gone. It was such an honor and a dream come true to attend as Mrs. Colorado International.

 

Mike and Margaret started this event 26 years ago as a way to give back to CP of Colorado for all the wonderful things they had done to help their daughter, Kelly. They are giving people and Mike is also a prostate cancer survivor.

Judy is the amazing coordinator for this event. She knows everyone and was so pleased that I was able to attend as Mrs. Colorado International. She really is the "life" of this party.

Of course, it wouldn't be Wine in the Pines without wine. Mitchell was on hand representing the Winery for this event,  Rodney Strong.The entire Friday evening is spent at the Keystone Ranch where the  talented chefs pair great food with the wines provide by the winery. The event is followed on Saturday night with wine and food tasting at the Keystone Event Center. Each guest is greeted by a mountain of chocolate when they come in the door. To witness this impressive display of chocolate is easily worth the price of admission.
