With the tasting, the club offers various cheeses and hors'doeuvres that can be pared with wines.  There are 3 silent auction tables in progress during the tasting.  As tasting winds down, the dessert auction begins.  These desserts are displayed throughout the night so you can decide what dessert you or your table would like to bid on.  Once the bid is won, the dessert along with plates, etc. are delivered to your table.  The evening ends with the live auction.  In the live auction you can find anything from a ton of hay to a Holland American 5 day cruise with your choice of destination.  

 

Throughout the evening, Tim Patrick Photography is there for portraits and the Rotary Wine Store is open.  Find something you like?  You can purchase one bottle or a case of bottles at the Store. 

 

Tickets are $30 each or reserve a table of 8 for $225.00 if purchased prior to Nov 7 and $35 or $240 purchased after Nov 7.  You can receive special pricing at the Omak Best Western Peppertree Inn for the night of Nov 12th.  Just mention you are attending the Rotary Wine & Cheese event.  Need more information, tickets or would like to donate an auction item?  Contact Chairperson, Debi Clark at 509-826-7903.
