After a light dinner is served, participants can sample some of the best Cabernet wines from over 75 wineries that all retail for over $30 per bottle. For an additional $50, attendees can sample in the “Collectors Room” and taste up to 15 wines that retail for over $100 per bottle.

Arnold added “there is no event like this anywhere in the Midwest.”

Mars on the Moon will be providing live entertainment all evening and Indiana artist David Slonim will debut his “Wine Series” of impressionist paintings.
