Women's club wine tasting is charity fundraiser

The Westlake Women's Club will host the third annual "Summer Wine Down" wine and food tasting from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Sun., Aug. 3 in the Lakeside Room and Wine Cellar at the Westlake Village Inn, 31943 Agoura Road, Westlake Village.

Guests may taste wines, sample cuisines from Conejo Valley restaurants, hear live music and bid on silent auction items such as valuable wines and dining experiences. The grand prize is a 20-bottle wine cabinet stocked with red and white wines valued at about $400.

"Regardless of your wine tasting experience, from the first-timer to the more demanding wine connoisseur, we will have wines for every palate to enjoy," said Kymberly Horner, event co-chair.

Lesley Dollinger, wine expert with more than 30 years experience in Napa Valley wines, will deliver a "Red Wines 101" presentation and share tips on how to distinguish red wine varieties by color, aroma, flavor and texture.

Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 at the door. Money raised will be designated for local charities.

Founded in 1968, the Westlake Women's Club is a federated, allvolunteer organization that raises thousands of dollars for local, regional and national charities. Club meetings are open to the public and are held monthly both in the daytime and evenings.
