What pairs better than wine and charity? Wine, food, and charity.

The 8^th Annual Sexy Syrah event will be held at Salty’s on Alki on Wednesday April 15^th. This event features over 40 Washington wineries along with food from Salty’s. The event is a benefit for FareStart, a job training and placement program for homeless and disadvantaged individuals. Sommelier’s David LeClaire of Seattle Uncorked and Tim O’Brien of Salty’s are hosting the event. I will be participating as a judge along with four others to determine the night's Gold, Silver, and Bronze wines. Stop by and say hello if you will be attending.
