Hosted in partnership with community champions such as Carol Stillwell and Stillwell-Hansen Inc., the event offered guests the opportunity to explore exceptional wines while supporting programs and initiatives that strengthen education, financial stability, and health throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
