Vickers’ Liquors Hosts Benefit for Newport County YMCA

Vickers’ Liquors of Newport sponsored the annual Newport County YMCA fundraising gala held at Newport Vineyards on November 7, 2019. During the Uncorking the Possibilities food, wine and beer tasting gala event, guests enjoyed 24 tables featuring tastes of wine, beer and spirits as highlighted by participating Rhode Island distributors’ teams who poured for, and educated, guests on showcased brands. Attendees paired beverage selections with food from Sardella’s Italian Restaurant, Newport Vineyards, Brix Restaurant, Russell Morin’s, Marco’s Subs, Pour Judgement, Matunuck Oyster Bar and many more. Two of Us created the soundtrack for the evening, which also included a silent auction of donated items. All proceeds from the event benefited the Newport County YMCA.
