Benefit Events » Fifth Annual Fine Wine Dinner and Auction
On March 10, 2009, University Settlement will host its Fifth Annual Fine Wine Dinner and Auction at Christie’s New York. The event has become a “hot ticket” for leaders in New York’s finance and banking community, selling out each year with a waiting list.
Michael Green, wine and spirits consultant to Gourmet magazine for 18 years, will be the evening’s Master of Ceremonies. Joined by a host of guest-sommeliers from New York City’s top restaurants, Michael will guide guests through a tasting of wines from some of the world's most forward-thinking and innovative winemakers. Each wine will be expertly paired with a five-course gourmet dinner.
For the second year in a row, University Settlement Board Members James K. Finkel (CEO, Dynamic Credit Partners, LLC; Member, Wine Committee University Club; Commandeur de Bordeaux; and Rhone Chevalier du Tastevin) and Jeffrey C. Cohen (Managing Director & Head of Institutional Equity Sales, Banc of America Securities) will serve as event chairs.
All proceeds from the dinner will benefit University Settlement’s diverse programs, which help over 20,000 low-income and at-risk New Yorkers build better lives for themselves and their families each year.
