Many of you may have already seen this if you are on the Artisan Vineyards e-mail list. Would anyone be interested in chipping in $20 towards this event? Right now the bid is around $335 and was thinking about bidding $400 tomorrow. The auction ends at 2:00 p.m.. I have both e-bay/paypal accounts and can handle the $$$ upfront.

Let me know if you would like to be part of the group1

Thanks.

VALUED AT $500

A guided tasting of organic and biodynamic wines on Artisan Vineyard’s Saint Paul, MN patio. The venue is Tuscan-like, replete with a cherubic fountain and bacce court. Your hosts will be as “wine-geeky” (their words, not ours!) as you and your guests can bear, or you can just tell them to “Shut up and pour!” Visit their website at www.artisanvineyards.com to view the patio and a list of wines.
Restrictions: The winning bidder should contact Larry Colbeck from Artisanwines.com personally, after the auction, to establish date and time for the tasting. Preferable, the offer will be scheduled before the MN weather turns chilly, as the tasting will be held outside.
To benefit Slow Food Minnesota
