Jazz and some wine - a good mix

The Jazz on the Vine event this past Saturday turned out to be a lot of fun. The Six Points Jazz Orchestra played the night away while people chatted, danced, sampled some great wines and dined on an excellent array of cheeses, crackers, spreads and other snackables. Whoever selected the cheeses for the buffet table did a great job!

The event was held in support of Erinoaks Kids which provides treatment, rehabilitation and support services to more than 11,700 children with disabilities and their families each year. You can read more about Erinoaks on their website.

The band really had their groove on, the youngest fan in attendance, Demyan, age almost 7, was quoted as saying, "Now that's what I call jazz!." Of course he said the same thing on the way home in the car when a White Stripes song came on, so perhaps he still has a bit of ways to go before he becomes a seasoned music critic. Nonetheless, he, and the others in attendance were very pleased by it all.

You can see more pictures of the event on our Facebook page.
