On Saturday evening a benefit dinner was held at Saint Gabriel's retreat on beautiful Coecles Harbor. The weather was perfect and the setting a spectacular stage for local wines poured by winemakers Roman Roth (Wolffer Estate and Grapes of Roth) and Jim Waters (Waters Crest Winery). An excellent four-course dinner was prepared by Rachel and Rich Fraser, owners of Shelter Island's Sunflower Marketplace. The event was generously underwritten by Penelope Moore, Senior VP of The Corcoran Group. Theresa Andrew, Director of Development at St. Gabes, was extremely pleased with the turnout. "It was a remarkable evening," she said. It was indeed. View The Slideshow
