Fine Wine and Appetizers

This event features five different and delightful wines carefully selected by John Neuburg of AVA wine+spirits and a platter of appetizers paired with the wines and created especially for this event by Audra Grueneberg and Ashley Gregorio of GruenHexe Catering. Audra and Ashley, formerly of Timmers, catered our holiday party in December and it was wonderful.

HOW IT WORKS – EVENT DAY FEBRUARY 25, 2023

Wines and appetizers will be packaged and available for curbside COVID- friendly pick up between 3:30 and 4:30 pm on the day of the event AT the UWM-WC Campus 400 S University Drive in West Bend. After picking up their event packs, guests will return home, turn on their computers and join John Neuburg on Zoom at 5:30 pm. John will guides us through the tasting and describe how the appetizers complement the various wines. (Not familiar with Zoom? We can help!)

Each guest will be entered into a raffle for a bottle of wine. Raffle winners will be drawn during the tasting. Auction winners will be announced after the tasting.

At 6:30 pm, the formal program will be over but guests can continue to enjoy their wine, mingle with other guests on Zoom and hear about what is new with the Foundation and the Campus activities.
