If you read this blog, you know that I love me a good glass of wine. So, a fundraiser called L’Amour du Vin sounded right up my alley. Add to it that it supports the Arthritis Foundation of Northeastern Ohio and you have the makings of a great event.
L’Amour du Vin is the “premier wine and food tasting event” in Cleveland’s western suburbs. Taking place on Thursday, October 18 at the lovely Avon Oaks Country Club, the event combines food, wine, a silent auction, live music from Oberlin College Conservatory of Music’s Jazz Ensemble, and a wine bottle raffle!
The main ballroom at L’Amour du Vin will feature tasting stations giving you everything from hummus to pork belly, from kolacki to chocolate fondue. The following fabulous restaurants will be serving up delicious treats:
Kiedrowski’s Simply Delicious Bakery
And if that’s not enough, the VIP room will feature exclusive samples from The Wood Fire Grille and Flavor the Town Catering.
L’Amour du Vin, presented by EMH Healthcare, is sure to be a night you don’t want to miss. Proceeds benefit the Arthritis Foundation of Northeastern Ohio, which helps to ease the burden of the more than 1.5 million people in our area suffering with arthritis. Tickets are $60 for general admission and $90 for VIP admission. You can purchase tickets by clicking here.
Or…you can enter for a chance to win 2 general admission tickets. Here’s how to enter (please leave a SEPARATE comment for each entry):
1. Leave a comment letting me know which L’Amour du Vin restaurant you most want to try. This is a one-time entry.

***Disclosure: I was asked by the Arthritis Foundation of Northeastern Ohio to help promote L’Amour du Vin. In exchange, I will receive 2 complimentary VIP tickets for myself and 2 general admission tickets to give away. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.***
The Oberlin Inn has been on my to-do list for a while and I haven’t taken the time to go…even if I know I should have by now.
I would like to try Wood and Wine. I never heard of them prior to reading your post.

I would like to try food from Amp 150 and Wood and Wine!
I discovered Flavor the Town at last year’s event, so this event is a good one to try new places. But I’d have to say Gatherings Kitchen because I love Ruth and their Friday Supper Club!
I thought I would pick The Melting Pot, but after checking out all the websites and menus I would most love to visit Amp 150 Restaurant and Bar. I think they had me at Shrimp and Grits but the the whole concept of the menu intrigues me. (http://amp150.com)
Tweeted as @PocketGail – Good luck getting the word out and around. My girlfriend was diagnosed with RA just last year… so it’s a cause I fully support and am happy to help.
Face Booked a SHOUT OUT as https://www.facebook.com/GailLPalmer
“Hey Cleveland Peeps – I found an event that looks inviting on a number of levels. It’s a (1) food and wine tasting (2) event that supports (3) The Arthritis Foundation of Northeast Ohio. Check your calendar and let’s chat.”
I organized a fundraiser years ago at the Oberlin in and it would be rather neat to get back there and see if and how the place may have changed.
Flavor the Town Catering, just because I want to see another caterer’s food.
Would love to win since I will be at the event (volunteering) however, Todd’s parents are in for the week and would love to take them.

Amp 150!

Wood and Wine has been on my radar for the past year – would love to try!
I love 87 West (obvi – a Driftwood Restaurant) and haven’t had food from there at all, just wine. Would love to try!
Anything from a bakery sounds good to me! 🙂
AMP 150 is always good stuff!

AMP 150 sounds fascinating!
Love to try AMP 150 again, today!
let’s share again…on facebook!

L’Amour du Vin restaurant I most want to try is a three way tie because I love food and can’t pick one! My top three are:
1) The Melting Pot
2) Catherine’s Chocolate’s
3) Wood and Wine
All the restaurants sound amazing, and would love the chance to feast on all of them. The three I picked I haven’t been too and based on their websites, and the fact that it’s almost lunch time, I am already salivating!

This is sure to be a successful fundraiser, few people can resist gourmet cuisine and fine wine. I have wanted to try Wood and Wine for awhile because nothing taste better than pizza or pasta with a glass or two of good wine.
