Thompson Cellar Dinner | September 17, 2021

Thanks to Donald and Brenda Thompson for hosting an unforgettable cellar dinner experience - a remarkable Charlotte Wine + Food auction lot sold at our 2021 Chairman’s Cellar Dinner! Guests enjoyed an 8-course dinner curated by Chef Sam Hart from Counter-. The Thompson’s generously picked 10 of their favorite selections from their cellar that truly created an unforgettable evening of fundraising and fellowship for all who attended.

Special thanks to Palmer & Maria Steel for donating a bottle of 1996 Petrus.
