Opera Theatre of Saint Louis will present its annual Wine & Beer Tasting on Friday, February 5, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Sally S. Levy Opera Center, 210 Hazel Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri.

From OTSL's official press release:

The best and brightest of St. Louis’s young professional set will gather in the Opera Center’s unique rehearsal halls for exquisite wines, extraordinary brews, an impressive array of hors d’oeuvres, and an enticing silent auction.

The evening will feature fine wines from Big Sky Cafe, Calistoga Cellars, Garland Wines, Niche Restaurant, Onesto Pizza & Trattoria, PRP Wine International, Inc., and Robust Wine Bar. Grey Eagle Distributors will provide tasty brews and The Saint Louis Originals (Hospitality Sponsor) will present hors d’oeuvres from Companion Bake Shops, Eleven Eleven Mississippi, LoRusso’s Cucina, Mike Shannon’s Steaks and Seafood, Ricardo’s Italian Café, Serendipity Homemade Ice Cream, SqWires, and Vin de Set. Kaldi’s Coffee will also be pouring samples.

Guests will have the chance to bid on silent auction items including an exclusive wine tasting featuring a vertical of Bryant Family Wine hosted by Gina Hoagland and Ron Fisher, and a cocktail party for fifty people at Patti and Kevin Short’s historic Central West End mansion. Guests will also have the chance to bid on rare vintages, wine and beer-related gifts, and fine dining packages from favorite St. Louis restaurants and more. Even guests who don’t win an auction item can take home a prize: the grab bag offers a chance to select a wrapped bottle of wine for $20. Some lucky guests could be surprised with a bottle worth $100!
