14th Annual Bacchanal Wine Gala and Auction
Pennsylvania Academy for the Fine Arts 128 North Broad St. Price: However much you’re willing to spend at an art auction Nov 10, 7 p.m. http://www.pafa.org/bacchanal2012/
You’re celebrating your induction into Castle and you need an appropriately high–society event. Why not an art auction and wine gala? Nothing says “I went to an Ivy” like drinking hundred(s)–dollar bottles of wine and splurging on art to hang over your fireplace mantle. Also, apparently wine comes in units called “Nebuchadnezzars.”
