Pass the Bottle

A mutual love of the grape brought an intimate group of oenophiles to South Coast Plaza for Share Our Wine’s pre-auction party—and every sip satisfied. Guests tasted Zotovich’s fabulous wines and nibbled on hors d’oeuvres from Quattro Caffé while chatting among friends about all things vino—and other matters, of course. And before they quenched their thirst a final time, they made sure to drop off their donations—bottles from their personal collections, which were later auctioned off to raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of O.C., Orangewood Children’s Foundation and Festival of Children at the nonprofit’s main event. Cheers to that! Photos by Lily Stein Photography
