ST. HELENA, Calif. - May 31, 2016 - PRLog -- During the Charlotte Wine and Food Weekend that happened last April 27-30, 2016, Todd Anderson held a private wine dinner and auction. This was one of several private dinners given during the Wine and Food Weekend. The private dinners were held for some of the biggest supporters' homes with a guest chef and winemaker collaborating on a special tasting menu. Todd worked with the chef, Leslie Schlernitzauer, to provide a wonderful evening.

During the evening, wine was auctioned off, and over $60,000 was raised. These donations will benefit the following organizations: Charlotte Concerts; The Council for Children's Rights; Pat's Place Family Advocacy; Safe Alliance; and Second Harvest Food Bank.
