20/40 Charity Wine Tasting

20/40 Charity Wine Tasting

Taste 20 premium wines of Spain and Portugal for $40 and raise money for Good Causes.

Money raised goes to The Compass Project.

The Compass Project mission is to use boatbuilding and rowing to provide positive direction to youth, encouraging the development of personal and community responsibility.

Presented by 5 of my favorite distributors: Crush, Davine, Devenish, Easterly and SOPO. These are 5 of the companies that are helping bring many of the special wines you are finding in Maine.

Freeport Cheese & Wine will donate 10% of any wines you purchase as a result of this tasting to The Compass Project.

Hosted by The Salt Exchange in Portland. Commercial Street. 3:00-6:00 PM (you don’t have to be there the entire time). Attendance is limited to 70 people to prevent it from being too crowded.
