Every year, music lovers and "foodies" look forward to the Portland Symphony's "Wine Dinner and Auction," a benefit dinner featuring fine food, select wines, live music performances, and silent and live auctions. This year the dinner will be held at the Harraseeket Inn in Freeport on Monday, March 26 starting at 5:30 p.m.
Participating chefs this year are from restaurants including Five Fifty Five, Fore Street, Back Bay Grill, Camden's Francine Bistro and the Harraseeket Inn. Each course will be paired with a fine French wine from the portfolio of Kermit Lynch, named Wine Professional of the Year by the James Beard Foundation.
A highlight of the annual dinner is the live auction, which includes the opportunity to bid on private dinner parties catered by the participating chefs, luxury travel packages, and fine art. One of the eagerly anticipated auction items this year is a gourmet tour of one of France's wine regions.
The Wine Dinner will feature performances by PSO musicians, and also by the lively and charismatic Quebecois band Le Vent du Nord, who will also be performing at the Portland Symphony Orchestra Pops concerts on March 24 and 25 at Merrill Auditorium.
The 2007 Wine Dinner and Auction is sponsored by Acadia Trust, N.A. All proceeds benefit the Portland Symphony Orchestra, including its education and community outreach programs. -- www.portlandsymphony.com
