Not only do Chappaqua Rotarians know their wine, they know how to toast area charities as 60 members and guests proved when they gathered Wednesday evening, April 2, to taste wines from four continents at Crabtree Kittle House for their 4th Annual Benefit Wine Tasting. While attendees sampled 79 wines, local organizations received the proceeds, including 20% of all wine sales.
Until Saturday, April 12 area residents who missed the event can stop by Hilltop Wine and Spirits at 423 King Street (238-8422) to peruse the Chappaqua Rotary catalogue and order wines that suit their palates. Twenty percent of all sales from the catalogue until April 12 will be donated to the Rotary Club, according to Peter Costello, owner of Hilltop and the wine expert who chose all of the wines for the Rotary event.
Chappaqua Rotary is the local chapter of Rotary International. The club is the pre-eminent service organization in New Castle and meets weekly on Mondays at 12:15 p.m. at the Crabtree Kittle House in Chappaqua, New York. It conducts community events throughout the year. For additional information, contact John Buckley at 914-227-4201.
