Back by Popular Demand!! THE WINE RAFFLE!

Bring a bottle (or 2 or 3) of your favorite wines, they can be locally produced in your state, or your go-to for parties, red and/or white, sparkling, Prosecco … whatever pairs with Spinoni! We will collect all the bottles and hold a raffle; the winning ticket will win ALL THE WINE!  So, leave space in the trunk, truck, camper, or RV....because one lucky winner will hit the vino jackpot! 

We have great auctioneers lined up who will make this a fun and lively auction but they can’t do it without your donations and we really, really, REALLY would appreciate your support!
