22nd Annual Wine Fest Presented by the Rotary Club of Jackson Hole

The Rotary Club of Jackson Hole will present the 22nd Annual Wine Fest on Friday, May 28 at the Snow King Center from 5:00 â€" 8:00 PM. The event will feature nearly 500 wines for local wine tasters to whet their palettes, a silent auction, a raffle for a $5,000 cash prize plus cases of wine, a wine education booth, Riedel tasting and Riedel glasses for sale. Wine Fest tickets may be purchased in advance for $30 at www.RotaryWineFest.org or at local liquor stores. Tickets will be available at the door for $35. Raffle tickets are available online or may be purchased at the event for $10 each, 3 for $20, or 20 for $100. The Riedel tasting, a great new addition to the Wine Fest, will take place from 5:15 to 5:45 in the mezzanine level. A representative from Riedel will be demonstrating how the design of each particular wine glass affects the character of the wine. The tasting will highlight wine in four Riedel glasses- Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet/Bordeaux and Sauvignon Blanc, and participants may keep their glasses. Tickets are $100 which includes entry into the Wine Fest. The Riedel tasting is limited to 40 people. The Rotary Club of Jackson Hole Foundation reinvests the proceeds from this successful event into local scholarships. This year the foundation granted $52,500 in scholarships to 27 graduating seniors.
