Last night the Detroit Red Wings hosted the Toast of Hockeytown wine tasting gala event to benefit the Detroit Red Wings Foundation.
The sold out charity event offered guests the opportunity to spend an evening with the Red Wings team, alumni and other celebrities for a night of wine tasting accompanied by fine liqueurs, a strolling buffet, live and silent auctions as well as a rare photo opportunity with the Stanley Cup!
Here are some photos from last night’s event:

Looks like a fun time had by all. I haven’t gone the past two years but I will hopefully get back to it next year.
Looks like so much fun, and wow, to meet all those wonderful Wings! Would love to have been there if I only were closer. Congratulations on a terrific event!
