Join the Greyhound Adoption League of Texas on Sunday, July 19, 2009, at Far Pointe Cellar in Southlake for an afternoon of camaraderie as we sample a flight of wine as magnificent as a Greyhound in full stride. As you enjoy the lineup of specially selected offerings - many from the acclaimed Seavey Vineyard in Napa, California - be sure to bid on one of the many items in the silent auction. Highlights this year include a wine tasting for 16 people and a print by Kentucky Derby and Westminster Kennel Club artist Trish Biddle.

Proceeds from the event will be used to fund necessary veterinary procedures and costs associated with transitioning retired racing Greyhounds into permanent homes. As you taste with your palette, know that you're giving from your heart.

Seating is limited to 60 guests so register early!!
