Love wine? Well, you are in for a treat! JLSA Fete Du Cuvée
Wine Auction will be Saturday, March 1. This is a black tie event that we
cannot wait for. The evening will start with a wine reception, silent auction,
and hors
d'oeuvres. I have to hand it to the Fete Du Cuvée organizers; they sure know
how to choose food for an event. I attended a pre Fete Du Cuvée event in
December called Dinner Under the Stars. It was held inside the grounds of the
Alamo, downtown.
That night we ate
like kings.
We enjoyed many different types of wild game dishes from various chefs.
The entertainment after the dinner was fantastic. We danced under the stars to glorious
sounds from Theron and the Old Quarters.
Wow, what a night.
The
featured chefs for the wine auction are: Chef John Herdman from
Sustenio,
Holley Dominguez from 18 Oaks-J.W. Marriot, Ernie Estrada from
Omni,
Justin Johnson from Max’s Wine Dive,
John Russ from Lüke, and
Jeff White
from Boiler House. If that doesn’t make your mouth water, I do not know what
would! Don’t forget about the MAIN EVENT for the night, the live wine auction.
Master auctioneer Anthony Mihalski will be there to take your bids on your
favorite bottles of wine. In case you were wondering, here is a list of the
events for the night:

So
why does Junior League of San Antonio throw all of these wonderful fundraisers?
To put money and volunteers, straight into the San Antonio community. Our
league has been giving to the San Antonio community for decades. 9 decades to
be exact. Through this blog you have learned about JLSA opening schools, giving
to our veterans, and even opening up hospitals. Did you know in the 1940’s The
Junior League of San Antonio fought to get the polio vaccine here to San
Antonio for our cities children? It is hard to imagine how scary life was back
then. I found this video that can help you to remember how scared people were
for their children to go out and play. It shows the city spreading DDT to try and kill pests that carried the disease.
This video was not produced or affiliated with Junior League of San Antonio. Its purpose is to educate the reader about the hardships during the Polio Epidemic. Please click here for more information about the author of this video.
The line, 38 seconds in, that read “And in the parks and public places,
children are forbidden to gather” is memorizing to me. JLSA did not help spread DDT around they city, but we were largest impact in bringing the Polio vaccine to San Antonio.
Our organization of women worked together with the funds we had available, through fundraising, to try and bring relief to our community.
