Event Details
 
Spiritus opened its doors in 1982 on Main Street in Hartford, opened and closed a store in West Hartford, and is now settled

into Hartford 21 on Asylum Street. Our new, larger space is a breath of fresh air, the redesign drawing great enthusiasm and

praise from visitors and adding to the ever-growing activity in downtown Hartford. Now feeling comfortable in our new

home, we figure it is time we throw a party!

In doing so, we would like to jointly celebrate the efforts of another entity that was also created in 1982, Foodshare—the

‘heart’ of Greater Hartford’s fight against hunger. This organization has also moved over the years to bigger and better

warehouse facilities as our region’s thirst has not yet been satisfied and bellies not yet filled. On May 4th Foodshare will

complete their 25th Anniversary Walk Against Hunger raising money to end hunger in our area. As one of our country’s

most efficient not-for-profits, over 95% of its total revenue goes directly to feeding those in need. The money that we raise

together at our special benefit tasting on May 29th will make a difference! Every $30 provides enough food for a hungry

person for an entire month and aids in the distribution of 14 tons of food per day to over 100,000 people who are at risk—

40,000 of whom are children. 100% of ticket sale proceeds from 21&Vine will go directly to Foodshare and help in the fight

to end hunger in our area. Visit www.Foodshare.org for more information on the organization, make a donation, or find out

how you can become involved.

Aiding the 21&Vine festivities will be over 50 Italian wines from Vias Imports which are listed below. Premium admission tickets will have access to a special collection of some of Italy’s top wines

including Dalforno Romano Valpolicella, Argiano Solengo, Rampolla Vigna d’Acelo, and Francesco Gravner Ribolla Gialla in

our Rare Wines Room. The wines in the general room will be wide-ranging with the likes of Madonna’s Montepulicano’s,

Broglia’s Gavi di Gavi, and Damilano’s Barolo. (Gary and Nate)
