Birmingham, MI—On Saturday, November 4, The Community House will host “SIP,” a unique event celebrating the marriage of fantastic cuisine and outstanding wines. SIP engages the Michigan restaurant and wine community where exceptional area Chefs and Sommeliers team up to provide food and wine perfection. The event serves as the signature fundraiser for The Community House, a nonprofit resource serving Metro Detroit for nearly 94 years.
The evening begins at 6:00 p.m. with a private cocktail and hors d’oeuvre reception for patrons. General admission begins at 6:30 p.m. SIP will showcase small plate stations by some of the area's best restaurants including The Stand, Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse, Tallulah, Prime 29, Eddie Merlot’s, Roast, Bistro 82 and The Community House.
Madeline Triffon, Master Sommelier and SIP’s official food and beverage consultant, will masterfully pair small plate selections with wines, cocktails and beer to create a collaboration that will heighten the dining experience.
A
wine and food-centric silent auction will give SIP attendees an opportunity to
bid on wine and food related auction experiences, wine lots, baskets and more.
The evening will conclude with an afterglow party, the ZIM’S Vodka After Hours “Wine-Down,” from 10:00 p.m. to midnight. The party will feature late night bites, dancing and ZIM’S Vodka signature cocktails.
New to this year’s event, The Community House is inaugurating an exciting new beverage scholarship fund and scholarships will be made available to cover the fees for the Introductory Course or Certified Examination administered by the Court of Master Sommeliers Americas.
SIP is sponsored by Emerson-Prew Insurance; Matt Moves Michigan; Gwen Schultz, Associate Broker, Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel; CLOZTALK; ZIM’S Vodka; Blossoms Florist; Luxe Linens and Hour Detroit.
