2010 Spring Atlanta Home Show to Offer Wine Tasting for Adult Attendees
Total Wine & More Will Uncork Variety of Wines as a Fundraiser for Travelers Aid of Metro Atlanta
ATLANTA - The 2010 Spring Atlanta Home Show will bring ideas, innovations and experts in the home building and home remodeling industry to Atlanta's Cobb Galleria Center March 19-21, 2010. This year, the Show also will feature a special wine tasting area for adult attendees. Total Wine & More, one of the nation's largest independent beer, wine and spirits retailers will offer a sampling of eight red, white and sparkling wines. The cost is $5 per person, in addition to Show admission. Proceeds raised will benefit Hope Atlanta, the service programs of Travelers Aid of Metro Atlanta. "Over the 32 years the Spring Atlanta Home Show has been held, the event has become well-known for exhibits by over 300 local home improvement companies, as well as seminars on a variety of topics," said Michael Schoppenhorst, director of the Show. "Each year, we look for innovative and exciting additions to the Show and we are very excited to welcome Total Wine & More. I think our guests who are 21 and older will enjoy tasting the various wines and feel good about raising money for Travelers Aid of Atlanta, which is such a worthy cause."
Wine experts will be on hand throughout the Show to answer questions. The tastings will be offered from 11:30 a.m. - 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 12:30 - 6 p.m. on Sunday.
