Wine Tasting for Lions Club

Wed, 04/07/2021 - 08:17

A virtual wine tasting on Saturday at 7 p.m. with John Grisch, the new proprietor of Race Lane Liquors, will benefit the East Hampton Lions Club. A $90 ticket includes four bottles of wine and a 45-minute interactive talk and tutorial with Mr. Grisch. Those who pay $100 will see $10 of their payment go directly to the Long Island Seeing Eye Dog Foundation, which the Lions Club has long supported.

It works like this: Participants pay via PayPal at py.pl/2yPy21ykcCP and then pick up their wine at the store by tomorrow at 6 p.m. They'll get a link to join the Zoom event on Saturday, but if they're all Zoomed out, they can skip it and enjoy the wines whenever, knowing that 70 percent of the ticket price is going to the Lions Club's good works in the community.
