The Connecticut Classic Wine Auction 2008 will feature some of the region's top caterers, each of whom will prepare a main dish and a dessert in a walk-around setting. We will pair each offering with wine from a top producer.


The 2 1/4 hour walk-around food and wine tasting will be followed by a two-hour live auction conducted by sponsor Michael Davis of Chicago's Hart Davis Hart auctioneers
