Torrington’s The Warner Theatre hosted its Annual Wine & Food Tasting and fundraiser on Oct. 19. Held in partnership with Torrington’s The Cork Fine Wine & Spirits, the Sips, Spirits & Snacks event featured a party with a sock hop 1950s theme with tastings of wine, beer, spirits and food from local restaurants, held in the theatre’s Main and Studio Theatre lobbies. Sponsored by Litchfield County Orthopedic and Spine, Todd Nissan and USA Recycle, the event benefited the Warner Theatre, a nonprofit performing arts center bringing an array of concerts and cultural events to the northwestern Connecticut area. The Cork Fine Wine & Spirits also donated a portion of its sales from the evening to benefit The Warner Theatre.
