Sierra Madre Wine and Cuisine Tasting Feb. 19

Here's a great Valentine suggestion. Transform Valentine's Day into Valentine's WEEK! Accompany your significant other on a romantic evening Friday, February 19th, at the elegant Alverno Villa in Sierra Madre. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of an exclusive Italian Villa, the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library are hosting their gala 40th Annual Wine and Cuisine Tasting event.

You and your valentine will be treated to a variety of wines from dozens of vintners. And we'll tantalize your palates with delectable cuisine from more than 20 local restaurants.

Bid on treasures for your Valentine at our Silent Auction. Available items include more than 20 pieces of artwork, meals from gourmet restaurants, theater tickets, Disneyland, wine tours and tastings. Jewelry, golf, race track, museum tickets, and a gourmet dinner for 8 from the Wine Tasting Committee are but a few of the gifts offered. Musicians, magicians, and good friends and neighbors round out this evening of evenings.

Our Gala will take place 7:00 - 9:30, Friday evening, February 19th. The Alverno Villa is located at 200 No. Michillinda Avenue. Two blocks north of Sierra Madre Blvd and approximately one to one and a half miles north of the 210 freeway.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library tickets are available at: Sierra Madre Public Library, The Bottle Shop, Arnold's Frontier Hardware, Iris Intrigue, Charcuterie, Savor the Flavor and Sierra Madre Books. They will also be available on line at
www.SierraMadreLibraryFriends.org .

Tickets are $60 each and are limited so purchase your tickets early.

In addition to a wonderful evening you will, by joining us, enable the library to add new acquisitions and additions to collections, support library services and programs, and make improvements to the building and grounds.
