A Toast to Mayor-Elect Kathy Sheehan 

The reception will feature light fare and a tasting of sparkling wines selected for your holiday gathering by Mark Brogna, University Club board member and proprietor of Capital Wine & Spirits on Lark Street.

Join us at 6:30 p.m. as we lift a glass to Mayor-Elect Kathy Sheehan, and hear a preview of her vision for the neighborhood, the city and the region.

Wines featured in the tasting will include: Saint-Hilaire Brut, France’s oldest sparkling wine; LaMarca Prosecco, rated Year’s Best & Best Buy from Wine & Spirits Magazine, August 2013; Mumm Brut Rosé, awarded 90 points by Wine Spectator, and Mumm Brut Prestige from California’s famed Napa Valley winery. These wines and others will be available by the glass following the tasting.
