The 350 tickets sold out quickly and attracted consumers, wine lovers and connoisseurs over 2 days of tasting and food matching, culminating in a Gala Dinner with an amazing Auction of Large Format bottles that raised a record amount of money.
Some Large Formats sold during the Auction.
The event raised 3.480.066$CAD for the Hospital Maisonneuve-Rosemont, far exceeding the amount anticipated.
This amount will be donated in its entirety to the Foundation of Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, a new centre of excellence for the treatment of Cancer that will be open in 2012 Spring.
