The year 2008 is the 17th anniversary of this outstanding charity event that not only raises much needed funds for the Committee on Aging/Senior Center’s Home-Delivered Meals Program, but also raises public awareness of the needs of our elders in the Santa Clarita Valley - AND - celebrates the appreciation of fine wines, which like our seniors, can become more valued with age.
