Join us for an afternoon full of live jazz, delicious summer wines, and special recipes featuring Joe's homegrown tomatoes, all to benefit a great cause- the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University.
We'll be pouring fifty wines and serving five recipes made with organically grown, local heirloom tomatoes from our urban garden right here in Los Gatos. Local jazz legends The Don Olivet Quartet will be providing us with the best live jazz the South Bay has to offer. Special guest Peter J McDonnell M.D., Director of the Wilmer Eye Institute, will also be our special guest.
There will be a silent auction, including rare library wines, winery tours and guided tasting events.
All net proceeds will be donated to the Wilmer Eye Institute.
