Roman Roth Chairing Harvest East End
Roman Roth, the winemaker at Wolffer Estate Vineyards, will be chairing Harvest East End. HARVEST EAST END is a charity fundraiser presented by FOOD & WINE and organized by the Long Island Merlot Alliance and Long Island Wine Council. Proceeds of the event’s live auction benefit three important regional charities–East End Hospice, Group for the East End and the Peconic Land Trust.
Roman told me directly that he was extremely excited about the event and is honored to be chairing it.
The September 17 schedule looks pretty awesome. It’s only Monday! Time to plan for the weekend!
