Click the links below to purchase and schedule pick-up at either location.
On April 16, the links to videos with tasting notes and tips will be available on this site.

Get your boogie shoes on! Bailacura is offering dance lessons before the gala.
So you think you can dance? Our friends at Bailacura have created a dance lesson just for our gala guests. Bailacura is a proud supporter of the Ronald McDonald House; their mission is to use the power and passion of dance to raise funds and support for cancer research and patient care.
Bailacura will be providing us a fun Spotify playlist to cue up for the after-party — put those new dance moves to use! Check back on April 16 to download your music.
