The wine was fine and the food fabulous at the ninth annual SSO Wine Tasting on September 14. Seventy-five guests enjoyed the afternoon sampling the culinary talents of Valley Kitchen and Bar with over forty different wines to taste from a variety of regions from California to Australia. This event raised funds for South Shore Orchestra’s programming and educational outreach. Funds were also generated from donated silent auction items and wines sales profits.
