Science of Wine fundraiser planned Comment By John Darling for the Mail Tribune MailTribune.com By John Darling for the Mail Tribune Posted Apr. 25, 2015 at 12:01 AM By John Darling for the Mail Tribune Posted Apr. 25, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum in Ashland will hold its 12th annual Science of Wine dinner, wine tasting and auction Thursday, April 30, at Ashland Springs Hotel. The fundraiser one of two big money-makers ScienceWorks hosts each year to support its educational programs for more than 10,000 kids annually. The event welcomes 120 donors to a multicourse dinner provided by Larks of Ashland Springs Hotel. Local winemakers offer a different wine for each course and explain how they go about making their wines, says Rachel Cardillol, ScienceWorks marketing director. Winemakers this year include Daisy Creek Vineyard of Jacksonville, Kriselle Cellars of White City, Plaisance Ranch of Williams and Folin Cellars of Gold Hill. To complement the appetizers, guests will taste Eliana Wines of Ashland, Jaxon Vineyards of Medford and Ledger David Cellars of Central Point. There will be an auction of a mystery bottle of wine, usually valued at between $20 and $100, says Lindsey. “To me, this dinner is like a gathering of family,” says ScienceWorks Executive Director Chip Lindsey. “ScienceWorks depends on and loves it. These are folks who really have a vision of the importance of a great science center and what it means to the community.” The event also features an auction of items such as a lawn ticket to Britt Festival’s night concert featuring Alison Krauss with Willie Nelson, and includes an appearance by Wildlife Images with one of its rescued wild creatures. Most of the group's rehabilitated animals are released back to the wild but some are too impaired and live out their lives on the grounds north of Grants Pass. The nonprofit ScienceWorks was established 14 years ago as an interactive tutorial experience that attracts kids and parents, as well as tours from schools in many counties of Southern Oregon and Northern California. The gala last year netted ScienceWorks more than $31,000 after expenses. Dress is semi-formal. Tickets cost $85 for ScienceWorks members and $95 for nonmembers. Tickets can be purchased by calling 541-482-6767, ext. 232. John Darling is an Ashland freelance writer. Reach him at [email protected].
