The Festival Chorus Gets Ready for October 14 Wine Tasting Fundraiser
Varieties of wine? Check! Interesting craft beers? Check! Various sweet and savory snacks to complement the tastings? Check! What a delicious and fun way to spend the evening of Saturday, Oct. 14, and support The Festival Chorus, too. The event is set for 7 to 9:30 p.m., at Plum Grove Banquet Hall, 4001 Park Drive, in Palatine. Cost is $30 in advance and $40 at the door.
This wine and craft beer tasting is the 14th such fundraiser for The Festival Chorus, and each year it gets better. The addition of a craft beer station in addition to three wine stations provides a wide variety of libations for all taste buds. A host of wine gift baskets will be raffled.
