location as well as influential members of the trade. As an advertiser, you are invited to reserve a
table to showcase your brands; you will also be recognized in promotional, advertising and press
materials. The participation fee is $ 7.995 per table for all five locations or $1,795 per table for
individual events.
Wine Star Awards Dinner
