Events like this are always awesome. Check out the list of invited wine and spirits providers.
Wine Enthusiast is hosting Toast of the Town at the Field Museum. Their Atlanta and San Fransisco events have sold out so act fast.  Over 500 wines and food from dozens of restaurants for $95 is a steal.  There is an auction to benefit America’s Second Harvest food bank but I’m not sure if the tickets are to benefit the charity.
