The Wino's calendar isn't too crowded this Memorial Day Weekend, but you should be out enjoying the weather and celebrating the unofficial start of summer anyway. If you're looking for a reason to drag yourself away from the pool later this week, check out any or all of these winetastic events.

Frugal MacDoogal is throwing quite the bash Friday, June 4, as they present "Sip, Support and Celebrate 2010." The festivities start at 5:30 p.m. at the Richland Country Club.

Here are the deets from the invitation:

Please join us as we raise a glass, support Leukemia and Lymphoma patients through The Chad Welch Memorial Fund, and celebrate the arrival of another beautiful summer in Tennessee!
Enjoy a fantastic selection of high end wines complemented by great food and fabulous silent auction items that you will not want to miss! Minimum donation of $100 per person.

Calling ALL Team Chad Runners who enjoy wine! Admission to Sip, Support and Celebrate is $75 per ticket for Team Chad Marathon and Half-Marathon participants.
To reserve, mail your check to: Sip Support & Celebrate, The Chad Welch Memorial Fund, PO Box 128365, Nashville, TN 37212.

Best Kept Secret: In addition to being able to TASTE some of the most fabulous wines around did you know that you can purchase these same wines the night of the event? Look for the Frugal MacDoogal table where you can handpick your wine selection by the bottle or the case! These wines will be available for purchase at the event for a generously discounted price thanks to our friends at Frugal's and Best Brands!
