EVENT DESCRIPTION:
"Women for WineSense Chocolate Sip and Shop"
A stainless steel clad work space on the
9th floor of a Chelsea
highrise is the backdrop for a unique and delicious event hosted by the ladies
of Women for WineSense NYC Chapter. This second annual chocolate and
wine experience in the confection kitchen of Chocolat Moderne, owned by French
and Belgian trained chocolatier Joan Coukos has evolved from the usual tasting
event to a more free form Sip and Shop, with a selection of decadent wines open
for tasting and Joan's fantastic bon bons for sale just in time for
Valentine's Weekend!
The event also included a Chinese auction - a cross between a raffle and an auction where raffle tickets can be allocated to any of several prizes as ticket holders wish. Proceeds from the auction went toward Women for WineSense programs, including the Annual Women for WineSense NYC Wine and Spirit Education Trust Scholarship.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
“Georges Duboeuf Design and Wine”
Women for WineSense NYC teamed up with WJ Deutsch and M. Young Communicationss to bring the "Is Fashion Your Bag?" national design competition to life at the Design and Wine Event, which was held at City Winery on a wintery Saturday afternoon earlier this month.
While we experienced a reawakening of the dormant kid in all of us by trying our hand at arts and crafts, designing a fairy tale wine tote for Georges Duboeuf, we enjoyed sipping on the 2008 vintages of GD's Beaujolais Villages and Mâcon Villages and nibbling on delicious hors d'oeuvres from City Winery's kitchen. In the event-day design competition, Manisha's good friend Lisa, who traveled all the way from Boston to partake in the event, walked away with a case of wine for her winning design, which incorporated the story of a young Georges making wine deliveries on his bicycle. Second Runner up Arlyn, our newest returning member, took home a mixed six pack.
A small group of members, including yours truly, convened afterward at nearby Aquagrill Restaurant for appetizers and drinks (delicious Peppered Tuna Carpaccio, glasses of Schneider Vineyards Cabernet Franc Le Breton from the North Fork of Long Island and more!) as the season's first snow descended on a busy, holiday-giddy New York City.
