WineSome of Atlanta’s top wine collectors will gather together to mix, mingle, share and sample some fine wines from their private collections at the first ever Atlanta’s Best Cellars Wine Dinner on Saturday, Oct. 3, at the Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead.

The gourmet four-course meal prepared for the event by premier guest chef Jordi Valles of the Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne and guided by a wine host at each table is co-chaired by Joel Katz, Chairman of the Global Entertainment and Media Group of Greenberg Traurig-Atlanta and Mark Goldman, Founder and Partner of The Gift Bag Company.

The event will also feature a silent and live auction, where guests will have the opportunity to bid on interesting and rare items like a Gibson Guitar autographed by Fleetwood Mac, a trip to Barcelona, wine from country artist Kix Brooks, and much much more.

This event has a limited capacity of 150 guests.  Tables at the exclusive event are $7,500, $5,000 for a table of ten, and individual tickets are $500.  Proceeds from the event will benefit the T. J. Martell Foundation’s cancer research fellowship grant at Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute.  To purchase tables or tickets, visit www.BestCellarsDinner.com or call (615) 256-2002.
