Wine-tasting to benefit Hennepin-Lake neighborhoods is June 9
Hennepin Lake Liquors, 1200 W. Lake St., hosts its 22nd annual charity
winetasting Wednesday, June 9 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in a tent in the
Campiello's parking lot, 1320 W. Lake St. Food will be provided by the
restaurant and wine by Hennepin Lake Liquor.
All proceeds go to participating neighborhood groups, including the Calhoun
Area Residents Action Group (CARAG), Lowry Hill East Neighborhood
Association (LHENA), East Calhoun Community Organization (ECCO), East Isles
Resident Association (EIRA) and Kenwood Isles Area Association (KIAA.)
"After doing business in the community for a number of years, we decided to
give something back," said Phil Colich, owner of Hennepin Lake Liquors for
29 years.
Colich said the event is Minnesota's longest-running charitable
wine-tasting.
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Each participating
neighborhood sells tickets as a fund-raiser, but tickets can also be
purchased at Hennepin Lake liquor. Revenue from tickets sold at the store
will be split among the participating neighborhoods.
