about organizations that work with children and we’re unique in that we can
provide a pleasurable and enjoyable experience for these special events. We thank
Hathaway-Sycamores for the opportunity to host this event.” George Pitsironis

wines from the Santa Barbara and Central Coast regions. “Our wines are food friendly,
fruit forward and well-balanced for everyday drinking, and we are proud to
support Hathaway-Sycamores at this event.”
