Revolution Mill is an enormous complex of offices, studios, and event spaces that have filled the vast interior of an old textile mill. Huge. Tall, tall ceilings; rough wood supports; wide windows; an open airy environment. The studio where the event was held was absolutely gorgeous:
Kids Path is a hospice-type program where children with terminal diseases or have witnessed the suffering of a sibling with terminal disease can receive care and grief counseling.
There was a silent auction with all sorts of items, from the frou-frou to the elegant to the gawdy. Hors d'ouerves were served via tux and silver tray. The event was from 7p-10p, but we had made it through all 12 wine tables plus the 1 Natty Greene's beer bar by 9:00. So then we headed out to Liberty Oak for an appetizer, more wine, plus dessert for a nightcap. It was a lot of fun and for a good cause.
We mainly went towards the red wine angle, with winners on our palate including:
L'Angevin 2006 Sonoma Stage Pinot Noir
Woodenhead 2006 Humboldt County Pinot Noir
Cotes du Roussillon 2003 Saturne (great with pizza they say!)
Markowitsch 2006 Carnuntum Cuvee
Tasty wares, and a donation to a good cause.
