 Join Us On The Purple Carpet

 Dear Downs Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada:

 On behalf of the new The Grape Wine Bar & Bistro Las Vegas, we are pleased and honored to extend an invitation for your organization to be the beneficiary of our exclusive silent auction at our upcoming grand opening on November 21, 2008, at 7pm at The Grape Las Vegas at Town Square, 6599 Las Vegas Blvd.

The Grape wine bar, bistro and retail seller offers guests a one-of-a-kind wine experience with delicious gourmet fare in a relaxed, entertaining environment. As an ultimate wine resource, The Grape demystifies wine and creates a non-intimidating atmosphere where you can “try before you buy” allowing guests to taste, drink and purchase wines to ensure a satisfying experience. 

Over 100 wines from around the world are classified by taste—using The Grape’s 10-part Classification Guide. The Grape has provided wine lovers with a fun, non-intimidating atmosphere since 2000. Currently there are 14 locations in five states including Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Nevada, and North Carolina. For more information, visit www.thegrape.com.

The Grape’s® largest franchisee is Atlanta-based Forte Entertainment Group, which is owned by former Delta Air Lines executives Aaron Dent and Pat Wildenburg, and a small group of private investors, including R&B singer/entertainer Usher.  Dent and Wildenburg have created a new face to this incredible wine and food experience within the communities in which they operate.  Locations are in Atlanta, Charlotte, Orlando, and the new store at Town Square in Las Vegas.

In addition to the grand opening, Usher will be hosting an after party to celebrate his private “Ladies Only” tour.  We are planning a festive and elegant event with local dignitaries, private guests, local/national media, and celebrities. The evening includes a cocktail reception featuring our global wine menu, gourmet tapas and live music.

We would love to help support the Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada’s efforts to transform lives. This event promises to be an incredibly chic evening and the opportunity for our guests to be a part of this meaningful cause. Please call or email our Marketing Director, Bronwyn Morgan, at sweetwater@sweetwatercreative.com or 404.550.3900 with your questions or acceptance of our invitation.   We look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,

 Aaron Dent   | Pat Wildenburg                                         Jennifer Gaydeski
