In just a few hours, we’ll be kicking off the first LENNDEVOURS Wine Bar event at Roanoke Vineyards, benefiting the Peconic Land Trust.

The initial plan was to hold the event in Roanoke’s separate Tasting House, which is right next door to the tasting room. I’m happy to report that we’ve outgrown that space and will now be in the newly renovated back room behind the main tasting room.

Late yesterday morning, our RSVP list had grown to 42 people.

Tickets are still available, but will be $15 at the door rather than $10 when purchased ahead of time. We’ve also updated a few of the goings on:

  • Attendees will receive a 10% discount on purchases of Roanoke Vineyards wines on their way out the door.
  • To maximize the money we donate to PLT, wines by the glass will be regular price, but with a portion of each glass going directly to the Land Trust.
  • I’ll be bringing a few bottles of my ‘Sonis Cellars 2006 Hand Crank Red, my 100% cab franc, 100% steel wine that I made at Raphael that year for sampling as well.

Assuming I can get on Roanoke’s wireless network, I’ll be doing some live blogging and posting some pictures throughout the event. Plus, I’ll be shooting some video. Keep an eye out for that stuff.

I hope to see even more of you there. Come out and enjoy a beautiful Sunday in wine country.
