Grab your Tickets for the August 1 Red, White & Brew
By Seattle Mag July 11, 2012
Though it may not be its official moniker, at Seattle mag we view August as “Washington Wine Month” — what with the 25th annual Auction of Washington Wines, the impending grape harvest and the debut of our Best Washington Wines list in the August issue.
What better way to kick off the wine-filled month than at our Red, White & Brew event on August 1, then? It is indeed as glorious as you might expect: Join us on the lawn of the Olympic Sculpture Park and savor sips from the wineries featured in the Washington Wine Awards (including aMaurice Cellars, Cadence Winery, William Church Winery and others). Also at the ready: locally crafted brews, bites from SAM Taste and sweets from Belle Epicurean.
Tickets ($35) are now on sale; get ‘em here (and then feel good because proceeds benefit the Seattle Art Museum).
