The 15th Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Celebration

The AIDS Council thanks everyone who supported the 15th Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Celebration on Thursday, November 19, 2009. Your generosity helped us have our best Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Celebration ever, with more than $88,236 raised for the event. Funds will provide emergency assistance to the AIDS Council’s clients, and will also support the agency’s prevention outreach and education.

Many thanks to our Honorary Chairs, Rudy Grant and David Siders, our Presenting Sponsor, Times Union, our Wine Glass Sponsor, Town Total Health, and all our generous sponsors, Honorary Committee, live and silent auction donors, and everyone who attended.

Special thanks to W.J. Deutsch & Sons, Ltd, Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, and P3 Placid Vodka for providing fine wine and spirits. Thanks also to John LeRoy and Tango Fusion Dance Company for our live entertainment and to Rodney Agan, Surroundings Floral Studio, and Seagroatt-Riccardi for the exquisite floral arrangements.

Finally, a tremendous round of applause to the biggest stars of the evening: the restaurants! Each and every participating restaurant and caterer went above and beyond this year to provide our attendees with samplings of our region’s finest cuisine. Merci!
