Perry & Co. Real Estate Professionals was one of 9 retail sponsors of Colorado Homes and Lifestyles‘ 3^rd Annual Cherry Creek North Wine Crawl on Thursday evening, August 20, 2009 benefiting The Kempe Foundation for the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. 

Each sponsor hosted a wine selection for patrons to try and some locations, like Perry & Co.’s showcase office at the corner of 3^rd Avenue and Fillmore Street, also had a chef to prepare and serve appetizers for the wine connoisseurs. 

“This kind of event is such a win-win for everyone involved,” said Don Larrance, President of Perry & Co.  “It’s a great cause, it’s a great way to invite people to enjoy the District, and the wine and food are fabulous.” 

Broker associates Colleen McGrath and Sherri Wheeler were on hand at the Perry & Co. office to welcome the wine-tasters and answer any questions about the District, homes for sale in the neighborhood and around Denver.  

Event-goers enjoyed a beautiful Colorado evening while strolling from shop to shop with their (empty) wine glasses – their “ticket” that let them participate in the tasting.  Each wine glass was printed with the Perry & Co. logo which includes the tagline: ”A Denver Tradition.”  (It is shown here by a modest oenophile.) 

The event ended with a party, jazz and prizes at Shaver-Ramsey Oriental Rugs, another long-time Cherry Creek North retail establishment.
