Menu for Hope

menuforhopelogo_4.jpgHere’s something worth noting this holiday season:  Menu for Hope is a project sponsored by food and wine bloggers, restaurants and others interested in ending hunger in the world.  It seems appropriate that those of us involved in the food and wine industries should sponsor an event such as this.  This is a “virtual” raffle project in that the tickets and sold and eventually chosen electronically.

This year, Menu for Hope III will endeavor to raise funds to support the UN World Food Programme.  Last year, Menu for Hope II raised $17,000 to help UNICEF.  

Food & wine bloggers, restaurants and other food related folks have donated raffle prizes.  We at Cima Collina are also donating a prize which is the following:

Rare Cima Collina Wine Package ($225 value)

This package includes 2 bottles of each of the following (and will also include shipping, if applicable):  2004 & 2005 “Chula Vina” Monterey County Chardonnay; 2004 Monterey County Pinot Noir; 2005 “Chula Vina” Pinot Noir.  These are all highly limited production wines direct from the winery!  The 2004 Chardonnay is sold out and received a rating of 91 and a “top value in California Chardonnay” mention in the Connoisseur’s Guide to California Wine.  The 2005 is just as tasty and is nearly sold out.  The 2004 Pinot received a score of 90 in Connoisseur’s Guide.  The 2005 Pinot was just released and is our first vineyard-designated Pinot Noir.
