Avant-Garde Host 4th Annual Wine Tasting at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts
The Avant-Garde, a social philanthropic society, will host its Fourth Annual Wine Tasting event Friday, Oct. 17, 6–9 p.m. at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. Marcus Brinkerhoff with Palm Bay International will serve as host in partnership with Midtown Wine
& Spirits. The wine tasting will showcase Italian wines with properties from Campania, Piedmonte, Sardinia and Trentino. In addition, guests may participate in a silent auction, featuring a variety of gift packages. Proceeds will support Frist Center programs.
Advance ticket purchase is encouraged: Tickets are $75 each or $60 each for Avant-Garde members and may be purchased in advance by contacting Jessie Foster, development coordinator at the Frist Center, at 615. 744.4902. Guests may also purchase tickets at the event.
The evening’s tasting will start with a light Prosecco followed by a Vermentino and a Falanghina for the whites. The reds will range from elegant to full-bodied with Cannonau, Barbera and Aglianico grapes. The wines represent a variety of winemaking styles from some of the most prestigious properties in Italy.
The Avant-Garde is a Frist Center membership group of diverse young—and young at heart—professionals who promote and support the Frist Center through social, educational and fundraising events. The wine tasting is sponsored by Midtown Wine & Spirits. The Avant-Garde is sponsored by Emma Email Marketing.
