Uncorked! 2014 kicked off with tastings from area vineyards and breweries…many thanks to Greenvale and Newport Vineyards and to Newport Storm and Foolproof Brewing Company!

As many of you know, the East Bay Food Pantry is an organization with which I’m passionately involved. And on September 12th the agency marked its fifth year of service to the East Bay community at our annual fundraising event, Uncorked! 2014. This post is dedicated to the Board of Directors who worked tirelessly to make the event such a success!
