The last few days have been a blur of activities starting with the
ZINO Society 6th Birthday Bash and Magnum Party at DeLille Cellars. This year, we partnered with the
Red Mountain AVA Alliance to produce a party for
ZINO Society members and guests and
Red Mountain AVA Alliance members and guests. With about 250 people attending, it was a happening!

Once again, we featured the delicious wood-fired pizza from
Veraci Pizza and all the magnums of wine were supplied by vintners within the
Red Mountain AVA Alliance.
Thea Upchurch, Executive Director of the
Alliance, said that she had around 100 magnums of wine on hand for the party.
The
ZINO Society team including
Mary Holmes,
Christine Gilbert (not pictured),
Jamee Nunnelee and
Kristie Lanum, handled the party details, guest list, name tags and food plus arranged for the band,
Soul Siren, to entertain.

There were dozens of wine professionals on hand including
Rick & Darcy Small of
Woodward Canyon,
Dick Boushey of
Boushey Vineyards,
Jean-Francois Pellet of
Pepper Bridge Winery,
Greg Lill,
Jay Soloff and
Chris Upchurch of
DeLille Cellars,
Stacy Lill of
O Wines, and
Bridget & Steve Griessel of
Betz Family Winery.
ZINO Society Membership VP,
Jamee Nunnelee, arranged for a fantastic band through her boyfriend,
Mark Soltys, who is the lead vocalist and guitarist in
Soul Siren. By the end of the party,
Soul Siren's music had beckoned to many of the party-goers and they were dancing to the beat.
Shelley Tomberg, who is the lead singer in her own band,
Shelley and the Curves, in addition to being part of the management team for
Columbia Hospitality picked up the microphone near the end of the party to join in the fun. She was marvelous! Next time, we will have to get her started earlier!
