2018 Wines of the World Event

By Portage County Business Council

A crowd of nearly 300 people gathered on Friday, October 26th for our 17th Annual Wines of the World event held at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Convention Center! The event featured over 100 wines from around the world for sampling, along with some specialty cocktails, bourbons and whiskeys by The Bottle Stop, fine cuisine by the Holiday Inn Hotel & Convention Center and Rockman’s Catering, Wisconsin artisan cheeses by Ski’s Meat Market, delicious desserts by Muse at Sentry, soft live jazz music by The Pointer Jazz Quintet, a Silent Auction, a Beer Bar and Ciderboys Mimosa by the Stevens Point Brewery, other craft beers, and handcrafted spirits by Great Northern Distilling and Schierl Brothers Northern Oasis Spirits.

 

An equally exciting part of the event was the announcement of the prize winners including April Cooke from Lineage Logistics who won the stunning pendant designed by Thomas Dailing and donated by Lee Ayers Jewelers; and to Shawna Wefel who won the catered dinner for 6 people donated by Rockman’s Catering.

We would like to thank the following sponsors and contributors for their support of our Wines of the World event.
