The Ann Arbor Country Club hosted a wine-tasting event last
Saturday in order to raise community awareness and to boost membership.
The event cost $30 per person and included three hours of
unlimited wine samples, Italian hors d'oeuvres, and entertainment by a local
jazz band.
“Sixty-three people attended the event,” key club investor
Mike Weikle said.
The AACC paid the four winemakers at the event for the first
bottle they opened for samples. It was up to the winemakers to pay for and open
any bottles after the first, Weikle said.
“It was a great opportunity for them to get their name out
there,” Weikle said, “All sides benefitted.”
“The AACC made the money spent on wine back through raffle
tickets sold for a few higher end wines,” Weikle said.
Raffle tickets were $10 each.
