Wine and Roses Success

An Evening of Wine and Roses continues to be a success under the new leadership of the Chamber and as a final goodbye for former advertising and promotions, A&P, leader Linda Mayhood.
Mayhood worked hand in hand with the Chamber to make this event a success as it transitioned from the A & P to a Chamber event.
The transition was made easier when the event remained at the Ponce de Leon Center with entertainment provided by the familiar Wine and Roses combo. Colonial Wines and Spirts continued to provide the wines and educational part of the event, the art of selecting a wine.
Appetizers were created by Diamante Country Club, DeSoto Club/19th Hole, The Porterhouse, Belle Arti Italian Ristorante, Ann’s Baked Goods, Ramona’s Kitchen, La Petite Bistro and Balboa Sports Lounge.
The marriage of the tasty treats and the delectable wines was a success. All the seats were sold out prior to the event so the big question of the evening was the weather. The rain held off but it was muggy.
An Evening of Wine and Roses was presented by the Chamber but sponsored by Summit Bank, Hot Springs Bank and Trust, Denny’s Body Shop, Good Spirits, Hyden, Miron and Foster, PLLC and Keystone Realty.
As always the event made friends out of strangers as everyone enjoyed good food and good wine.
I understand the Grayson Cellars Merlot was a big hit. And as always, more wine was consumed that just merely tasted.
A good time was had by all and the Chamber will continue to present this event in the future.
Contributing sponsors included Stephens Jewelers, National Park Medical Center, Village Villas Vacation Rentals, The Beehive Gift and Village Flower Shoppe, Hot Springs Village Florist and Gifts, Beckwith Visions, Cranfords and Colonial Wine and Spirits.
