Wine Tasting to benefit Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood

I like a lot of things.  I like puppies and kittens and cuddles from my hubby.  I like Doctor Who and the Walking Dead and films by Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith.  I like to snuggle up with a blanket and a beer and disappear into a great novel.

I like wine and cheese a lot-- especially when they're together.  Throw in some truffles and I'm in heaven.  If someone was to tell me that I could enjoy all three of these things-- while also celebrating women and benefitting a good cause-- I would ask them, "Tell me more about how I can attend such a worthy and fabulous event!"

I can only assume that you are like me and are sitting up a little straighter now, already imagining the mouth watering combination of a creamy camembert with a peppery red.  Toss in some dark chocolate and helloooo happy tongue!

It gets better:  Since March is Women's History Month, the great folks at the Charles F. Lucas Confectionery and Wine Bar are featuring wine and vittles from women entrepreneurs.  If you haven't been there yet, put it on your to-do list-- the place seriously rocks.

Here are the details:  This Saturday the 23rd, right after the Troy farmer's market, come to the Wine Bar at 12 Second Street in Troy.  Planned Parenthood Young Leaders will be there from 2-4 for a private tasting.  For $25 you get a tasting flight, snacks and charcuterie, truffles, an enlightening talk about pairings, and a presentation by Planned Parenthood.  After the presentation, the featured wines will be offered at a discount until 4pm, at which time the establishment will open to the public.

Check out the event on facebook and eventbrite, where people are encouraged to pre-register.  Questions about the event can be asked on its facebook page, and the staff at UHPP will answer to the best of their ability.  Interested parties can also direct inquiries to ppyl@uhpp.org.

There are so many reasons to attend this great event; if the venue, food and drink were not enough, come to celebrate women and Planned Parenthood!

This event is sponsored by Albany Medical Center and Tag Solutions.
