A Wine Bar or Restaurant picks their favorite Cabernet Sauvignons within several price range categories

(i.e. under $10, $20,$25,$30,$40,$50,$60,$70,$80,90,$100) for a wine tasting event where attendees vote and select a favorite in each category.   
 
We let each venue make up their own tasting rules, pricing structures, etc.
 
We do ask that you donate at least $5.00 per person attending the event to our chosen non-profit charity.

We also encourage silent auctions, raffles, contest, Ect. To make sure your customers have a good time and we raise as much money as possible for our chosen charity.

This year we have chosen to help “Rebuild Greensburg Green”!

After an EF5 tornado destroyed the rural town of Greensburg, Kansas in May 2007, the community decided to rebuild sustainably, striving to become a model green town for the future.  Greensburg Greentown, a local nonprofit corporation formed to help coordinate this Green Initiative, we have been working closely with residents and businesses to realize this goal. A year has passed since Greensburg made this landmark commitment and several green building projects are currently underway. One of their signature projects is the Chain of Eco-Homes. This project seeks to build as many as a dozen model homes that will serve as “living laboratories” featuring all types of building techniques, energy efficiency features, and green living products.  Each home will be unique, and each will be available both as an informational center (we call it an “education station”) and as eco-lodging where people can experience green living first-hand. The homes will be scientifically monitored in order to demonstrate the actual energy savings realized. This will be the first such project in the nation, and will be a key to Greensburg’s successful comeback from the tornado’s devastation. Members of the International Bacchus Society have committed to designing one of these 12 homes. The Bacchus House will be built using the latest green technology and will be a Net Zero home, (producing more energy than it uses).

We look forward to working with you on this and many other fun and philanthropic events in the future. If you have any questions about this event or the Bacchus Society, feel free to contact me.
