Keep the Promise: 5th Annual Wine Tasting Benefit for The Wooden Floor
10/06/2010 - By Newport Beach, CA

For the fifth consecutive year, The Wooden Floor will showcase 12 exquisite wines that have been hand-selected by longtime supporter John Markley, and his wife Janice.

Scouring wine shops across California for over 12 months, the wines Markley hand selected will not sit idly in a cellar – not for long, anyway. Markley has channeled his passion for wine into support for his favorite charity, The Wooden Floor, an arts based youth development non-profit based in Santa Ana - one of Orange County’s most poverty inflicted cities. The Wooden Floor provides its 375 youth with exposure to contemporary dance with the leaders of the field, in addition to comprehensive one-one-one tutoring, college prep programs, and specialized family support services.

"Keep the Promise" has raised nearly a quarter million dollars at the past four events, and earning raves for the hard-to-find wines Markley showcases. A strolling wine benefit, with heavy hors d'oeuvres, the event takes place Thursday, October 6, 2011, at 6:00pm in Newport Beach, CA. It will feature 12 wines from France's Rhone Valley.
