2nd Annual Wine Women and Shoes

by Anuhea Yagi

January 13, 2011

Get your fashion fix of runway models, stylish shoes and elegant wines at the 2nd Annual Wine, Women & Shoes, a benefit for Imua Family Services, which provides comprehensive early childhood development outreach. Wine Women & Shoes is the brainchild of Napa Valley vintner Elaine Honig, who was driven by the belief that, “wine and shoe pairings should be a lot more fun.” She was right. WW&S events are now in 22 cities across the country, with more than 15,000 attendees per year, and they have raised more than $5.5 million for women’s and children’s causes. At the event, keep an eye out for “Shoe Guys,” the gentlemen who serve heels on a platter, and the Unique Boutique Marketplace, a shopping area displaying jewelry, lingerie, handbags, accessories and other posh goodies. For those wanting to sip as well as mix and mingle, sample a variety of wines from Napa Valley’s most reputable vintners including New Age and Charles Krug. 244-7467, pveilleux@imuafamilyservices.com [DS]
