Point to Success Fundraising Brunch
Due to inclement weather, the event has been rescheduled to March 30, 2019.
Registration is $100 per person
All proceeds dedicated entirely to student support and faculty development to improve business education in the Tri-Cities. Featured guest Tim Hanni, Master of Wine, flavor maven and author of “Why you like the Wines you Like”.
The master of ceremonies will be KNDU Television news anchor Tracci Dial and the featured speaker is Tim Hanni, flavor maven, internationally known expert in wine and the wine business, and the first person in the U.S. to earn the Master of Wine credential (http://www.timhanni.com/). Tim is author of the book, Why you like the Wines you Like. Did you know that your wine preference correlates to a dislike of loud restaurants, an affinity for sushi, a dislike of cilantro, a dislike of tags in your clothes, and your mother’s susceptibility to morning sickness? And that Tim developed a short quiz you can take to sort this all out? You won’t want to miss this informative and amusing presentation.
This year’s brunch will include a live auction for some great packages, a $25 wine grab, and a fun game of heads-or-tails.
Live auction items include:
- a private vineyard-to-bottle tour featuring Charlie Hoppes and Dick Boushey
- a weeklong stay at a penthouse condo at Punta Mita, near Puerta Vallarta
- a stay for four on a Seattle houseboat

- a summer pool barbecue overlooking the Snake River
- a family photo session
- a private tour of a submarine conning tower with dinner for eight
- a dinner for eight at a local waterfront home prepared by the Executive Chef of the WSU School of Hospitality and Business Management, Jamie Callison.
The $25 wine grab will include many bottles of wine with retail values greater than $60 and an average value of over $40, including ten 90-pointers and two double gold winners. The prize package for heads-or-tails includes a $350, 100-point wine.
