Camp Emanuel fundraiser hits the right note

By Mark Fisher | Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 08:00 AM

The 33rd Annual “For the Love of Wine” tasting benefitting Camp Emanuel held Sunday, April 26, at Jay’s Restaurant had a great vibe, attracted a robust crowd of 90-plus people, and raised a significant amount of money for a worthy cause.

Four out of the final five live-auction items — a multi-course wine dinner for eight at Rue Dumaine restaurant, a multi-course dinner in Jay’s Restaurant’s wine cellar, a prepared-in-your-home wine dinner by Eric Jerardi of The Little Store, and a single bottle of 1986 Chateau Latour — all sold for more than $1,000 each. The fifth, a single bottle of 1986 Chateau Margaux, sold for “only” $950.

Proceeds benefitted a day and resident camp in southwest Ohio that serves hearing-impaired and developmentally-impaired youths and hearing youths.

A buffet-style lunch was served by the folks at Jay’s, and an interesting array of wines was provided by Charles Landis Jr.

All in all, a very fine event.
