LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Have you ever dreamed of taking home a stash of more 50 bottles of great wine?
Lake County resident Donna Rose not only dreamed about it, but she was able to do when her ticket was drawn in the 2014 Lake County Wine Adventure raffle.
The raffle, sponsored by the Lake County Winery Association, or LCWA, in partnership with Savings Bank of Mendocino raised $5,000 for Relay for Life, Lake County Chapter.
“We were honored to donate the proceeds of this year’s raffle to the Relay for Life,” said LCWA Director Terry Dereniuk. “Just about everyone has either been struck by the disease or has a friend or loved one who has battled some form of cancer. LCWA wanted to support the efforts of our local Relay chapter with a bit of 'wine for the cure'.”
All Lake County wineries open for the Wine Adventure donated two bottles of wine to create an “instant wine cellar” prize. Savings Bank of Mendocino added to the package with a wine refrigerator.
Relay for Life volunteers sold raffle tickets at a number of Wine Adventure stops. Sales were so successful at Moore Family Winery that the volunteers stayed for the evening Wonder Bread Five concert on Saturday evening.
LCWA works to promote the wines of Lake County’s high elevation region.
Membership is open to wineries, winegrape growers, and individuals or businesses interested in promoting the Lake County wine industry.
