The Glendale-Crescenta Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross held its annual fine wine and food at the Forest Lawn Museum in June. The event offered ticketholders the opportunity to compare an array of carefully selected wines from California and around the world. Light appetizers from Chin-Chin Catering accompanied the wines, along with a variety of cheeses and an array of Mignon fine chocolates.

The event featured a guest appearance by Fritz Coleman, popular Channel 4 weatherman, talented standup comedian and longtime supporter of the Red Cross. The evening included live musical entertainment, a silent auction, gift baskets and entertainment/dining opportunities contributed by local businesses and community members.

All proceeds benefitted the American Red Cross, furthering its ability to respond in times of unexpected emergencies.
