Drink My Cellar For The Heart Foundation 2014

November 20, 2014 @ 7:30 pm - 11:00 pm

Over the three and half year history of The Wine Depository I have been proud to use my business and personal connections to help give back to people in need. This year I hope you will join me for a dinner to help raise money for the Heart Foundation.

ICity 2 Sea 15km 2014n 2011 TWD took part in the Wine Rules Charity touch football tournament for St Mary’s House of Welcome. And since 2012 I have raised money for The Heart Foundation through my running. Heart Disease is an illness very close to my, well, heart as I have lost too many family members to it. I suffer from hereditary high cholesterol which is why I took up running. Now that I have my son Rory in my life I want to be a positive role model and make sure both of us do everything we can to make sure we don’t have to suffer from heart disease. Once again I am going to step up from my comfortable 5km runs and take on the 15km distance at the City2Sea on 16th November. It will be the longest I have ever run and I hope that me taking on this challenge will inspire you to help out.

As an extra incentive on Thursday 20th November you get to Drink My Cellar at Scopri. For those that missed out in 2013 the idea is you get to drink a selection of excellent wines from around the world all of which come from my personal cellar (see last years line up below). There will be wines from all over the world that closely reflect my personal tastes, most of which have and interesting story as to why they ended up in my cellar too.

This is also a great way to see why having a cellar is  a wonderful and rewarding experience. Scopri are putting on a four course casual shared menu and there will be no order forms. All the proceeds apart from the food costs will go to The Heart Foundation. The cost is $170 per head and there are limited spaces so don’t miss out.

If you would like to come along please book below or RSVP to this email address. Feel free to share this invite with other people who may be interested. If you can’t make it but would like to donate you can do so here.
