“I have been joking with Eve for years,” stated Guy Lelarge owner of Valencia Wine Company. “People think she works here already because she writes about all of our local wine bars and their events with such passion…why not watch her sweat a little?” And to this, Eve has already prepped the readers of her blog, Eve’s Wine 101, the West Ranch Beacon, and subscribers to her Dear Wine Friend newsletter with this teaser: “I could be your sommelier, your waitress, your lackey! But it will be a quiet weeknight because, well, I’ve got to have time to drink while I work.”

If you would like to support the fundraiser, and are unable to attend, you may send your tax-deductible donation to the UUofSCV, PO Box 800028, Santa Clarita, CA 91380, with the words Eve’s Wine 101 in the memo line.
