Wine, Wisdom and Whimsy, the First Annual Wine Event for the Nebraska Kidney Association was held on Friday, November 20, 2009 from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. at the beautiful former “Street of Dreams” Waterford home of Linda Jacobsen and Butch Atherton. Linda and Butch opened their showcase home to 40 guests who enjoyed a formal wine tasting, conducted by local wine expert Dennis Hein, appetizers, desserts, a silent auction and a special screening of Sideways in their custom built theatre room. Kerry Heinrich, Board Member and Chair of the event, greeted guests and poured a variety of Malbec and Spanish wines for their tasting and drinking pleasure. Nebraska Kidney Association staff prepared food to coordinate with the wines, from smoked pork and spiced meatballs to chocolate raspberry tarts and cheesecakes. The event raised $3,500 for the organization. |
