Wine Tasting and Silent & Live Auctions

Thank you to everyone who came out and raised their glass to a world without Alzheimer's disease on June 29 at the Westin in Annapolis!

"A Toast to Remember" raised over $59,000 to support Alzheimer's programs, research and advocacy efforts!

 

 

 

 

    

This year’s theme was Tour the World by Glass and Laurie Forster, The Wine Coach® hosted the event with wines from all over the world provided by Patrick Bouculat, owner of Wine Cellars of Annapolis.

Laurie kicked off the event with the key strategies to create perfect pairings and then everyone departed on this delicious culinary journey.

Guests traveled to a series of food and wine stations that demystified the art of creating perfect pairings.  


 

Auction Items

These and dozens of other items went home with lucky bidders at the end of the evening! 

Brunch by Carl Tuerk (Value $750)

Gourmet Brunch for Eight with beverages. Choose a catered brunch at your place or a waterfront home on an agreeable date (best in spring or fall when moderate temperature makes al fresco dining optimum if at my home). 

This meal promises to be the highlight of your week that will involve breakfast foods such as eggs, sausages, bacon, ham, fruits, pastries, French toast, and croissants (just to name a few). 

Mimosas, ramos gin fizzes, brandy milk punches, bellinis, and bloody marys are popular brunch cocktails that are sure to be a winner. Fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee and tea completes this wonderful meal prepared with tender loving care.
