Hello Group!
The Uncorked Organic Wine and Local Food Tasting event is coming up on July 18, 2009 from 6-9pm at Moana Nursery! This event is a Nevada EcoNet fundraiser and Silent Auction. For our guests we will be pairing organic wine with local food appetizers, while hosting a night of intimate relations with our community members and sustainability partners. Nevada EcoNet is selling tickets at $30 from our web page www.nevadaeconet.org.
Southern Wine and Spirits is sponsoring the event again this year, as is Moana Nursery, and Dish Café. But the event will be anything but a repeat of last year. We are lining up a great selection of local artists to play music, we are also hosting the local farmers and other members of the Slow Food Reno chapter to give information and advice, and otherwise educate participants. This year Uncorked is becoming part of the NV EcoNet Erase Your Trace program, with waste reduction efforts that include recycling and composting, as well as the commitment to use all compostable materials for disposable products.

The Uncorked Organic Wine and Local Food Tasting is important to our sustainability efforts because:
• It encourages self-reliance and a feeling of community.
• It promotes sourcing your diet locally, thus supporting local independent businesses.
• It promotes sustainable agriculture and the reduction of toxins, including consumer support of these practices.
• It is a fundraiser and Silent Auction that supports NV EcoNet and our other sustainability activities throughout the year.
