Grapes for Humanity U.S., Inc., had the distinct pleasure to have Marchese Piero Antinori as our honored guest and sponsor on February 1, and 2, 2010. There were two days of tasting the finest of Antinori wines – along with a golf tournament/tasting at the Concession Golf Club. Dinner Wines donated by Piero Antinori: Mntenisa, Cervaro della Sala 2007, Peppoli 2007, Tignanello 2006, Antica Cabernet 2006 and a Double Magnum of Solaia 2006 for the auction. The Double Magnum of Solaia and a tour of the Antinori Estates sold for $26,000 two times!
On Tuesday, February 2, a golf outing and wine tasting were held at The Concession Golf Club, rated “best new private course of the year” by Golf Digest. Wines for the tasting included: Cervaro della Sala 2007, Peppoli 2007, Badia a Passignano 2005, Tignanello 2006, Guado al Tasso 2006, Antica Cabernet 2006.
Fund raised from the evening were distributed to the Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota, The Oak Park School for children with special needs, the Viola Wheeler Music Program in Cambodia and The Grapes for Humanity/US Haiti Relief Effort.
