Around the World in One Night

A crowd of nearly 375 people gathered on Friday, October 28th for our 15th Annual Wines of the World event held at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Convention Center! The event featured 112 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 PJ’s at SentryWorld and Rockman’s Catering, 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.

An equally exciting part of the event was the announcement of the prize winners including Maria McKay from Remedy Intelligent Staffing who won the stunning pendant designed by Thomas Dailing and donated by Lee Ayers Jewelers; and to Kim Whelan from Ki Mobility who won the catered dinner for 6 people donated by Rockman’s Catering.
