Here at Terroirist, we’re big supporters of Heart’s Delight, a four-day celebration in Washington, DC that brings together winemakers, celebrity chefs, gourmands, and wine enthusiasts to raise money for the American Heart Association.

The week culminates with a Grand Tasting Reception and Auction on Saturday, May 3rd.

Guests will enjoy wine from a host of outstanding producers. For fortification, attendees will be able to munch on delicious bites from exceptional chefs such as Chicago’s Graham Elliot, San Francisco’s Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski of State Bird Provisions, and local favorites like R.J. Cooper of ROGUE 24 and Michael Friedman of The Red Hen.

During the reception, guests can peruse the many wonderful silent auction items available for bidding. Later in the evening, a live auction will feature a number of impressive trips, experiences and of course, wine!

Just go to the web site for Saturday tickets, enter the discount code TERROIRIST, and at checkout your price for the Tasting Reception & Auctions will be $125 instead of $250.*
