Thanks to the enormous success of previous Grand Tastings, this year, Gary’s Wine & Marketplace is expanding their annual fall fundraiser into a three day event: Gary’s Grand Wine Experience, Saturday, October 24 – Monday, October 26, 2015.
Food and wine lovers will now have more opportunities to explore their passions. Guests will meet top Napa Valley vintners and taste rare vintages at a symposium moderated by Karen MacNeil, as she kicks off her book tour for the 2nd edition of The Wine Bible. There will also be wine pairing dinners with guest vintners at New Jersey’s best restaurants, as well as the biggest Grand Tasting event ever!
This bigger celebration means more chances to support the beneficiaries. Gary’s Wine & Marketplace has raised more than $700,000 over the years and expects this to be the best year ever.
