The 11th annual wine tasting will be held in the museum’s Bendel Mansion. All event proceeds support Stamford Museum & Nature Center’s educational mission. “This year we wanted to do something a little different, and we loved the theme of Flights of Fancy. It’s a bit of a play on words since we’ll have flights of wine for sale, the nature center is full of birds in flight, there are great trips available in our new live auction, and it all goes to help imaginations and dreams take flight through great educational programs,” explained Claudia Silver of Stamford, chair of the event. The Flights of Fancy Wine Tasting is generously sponsored by Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, Day Pitney LLP, Ernst & Young, Fidelity Investments, Juner Properties, O’Connor Davies Munns & Dobbins, LLP, Party Rental Ltd., Pierson & Smith, Purdue Pharma LP, magazine sponsor Moffly Publications Inc., and radio sponsors 95.9 the Fox and 96.7 The Coast.
Committee members, in addition to Silver, include Mary Ammon of Stamford, Nadia Berkowitz of Stamford, Angela Bollettieri of Stamford, Leslie Bruzik of Stamford, Lynn Villency Cohen of Stamford, Holly Hyman of Stamford, Becky Lai of Stamford, Eva Levine of New Canaan, Cynthia Mammone of Stamford, Betsy Raftery of Wilton, Molly Seegers of Stamford, and Jami Sherwood of Stamford.
