Islander Wine Dinner raises over $13,000 for The Community House
The Islander Wine Dinner hosted by Bailey’s General Store raised a total of $13,900 for The Community House on Sanibel, which is operated by the Sanibel Community Association.
The sold-out six-course dinner was held on July 31 at the venue.
Ben McClure, certified wine specialist and brand ambassador of Talbott Vineyards, was the featured guest speaker. The locally-sourced cuisine was prepared by Sanibel Catering Company’s Chef Karl and paired with Talbott’s 100-percent estate-grown wines, including from its Sleepy Hollow Vineyard.
“We are so appreciative of Bailey’s and Sanibel Catering for being such a wonderful partner and donor of The Community House,” Executive Director Teresa Riska-Hall said. “The wine dinners are something we envisioned for some time, but they really bring the idea to life.”
