In addition, afternoon event goers will have a chance to purchase tickets for a fun wine pull. Wine pull tickets will be available at the event for $20. Each ticket allows the buyer to pull an expertly selected bottle of wine of an unknown identity. All wines will be valued at $20+, with more than half valued at $25+, and one $100 bottle of wine for a lucky winner!
