While I don’t follow hockey very much, I do know that there are many hockey diehards out there including one of my related family members who also really enjoys a glass of quality Cabernet Sauvignon. To those hockey fans and players, check out what the Pittsburgh Penguins are doing for their local community.

On January 19, the Pittsburg Penguins Foundation is hosting a Wine Tasting Gala that will benefit the Penguins Foundation’s youth fitness and education initiatives.

The Wine Tasting Gala will feature more than 40 world wines. Wines expected to be at the event include European, South American, New Zealand, California and the Pacific Northwest. According to the Pittsburg Penguins Foundation, “All wines at the 2016 Wine Tasting Gala score no less than 90 points from major wine publications.”

Hors d’oeuvres with a Pacific Northwest-style will be available along with the wines. Also in attendance will be the Penguins coaching staff and celebrities from the local area.

The tickets are $250 per ticket and are available online.
