A huge thank you to Chris Pearmund and The Winery at La Grange staff for the use of their beautiful manor house and facility. Our sincere appreciation to all those exceptional local, sustainable food producers, wineries, and individuals, especially Rappahannock Cellars and the Pastoral Guild, who generously donated products and services to help make for a fabulously fun and successful event. Special thanks to our auctioneer, Tom Eschelman, for donating his time, energy and enthusiasm to our live auction. We also offer our applause to David and Stacy Gedney of J’s Gourmet for their outstanding food offerings featuring local, sustainably-raised ingredients. Be sure to check back for information about next year’s event, and please plan to support the Montessori Children’s Center by joining us next April 30th for Slow Food Vast Wine 2011!
