I welcome any chance to write about the amazing Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga, California. If you want to spend an enchanted evening at this magical place, check out this years Young School benefit. Forever Young: Una Sera Incantata is The Young School's ninth annual benefit fundraiser and will take place on Friday, February 8 at the Castello di Amorosa from 6:30 until 10:30 p.m. The event includes a four-course dinner in the Great Hall as well as silent and live auctions. The lots, as you might expect for a non-profit school in the town of St. Helena, CA are wine-centric. The list includes many prized names including Cakebread, Far Niente, Grgich Hills and Clos Pegase. There are also several hotel packages including getaways to the Half Moon May Inn, Estancia La Jolla and the King Pacific Lodge, a floating eco-resort off the coast of British Columbia. There is also a raffle with 3 separate prizes for $100 each (you don't have to be there to win). The three prizes are a dinner for four at La Toque in Rutherford, a Tahoe vacation package at Plumpjack Squaw Creek for two nights for two couples and The Young School Family Wine Lot (two cases of wines made by the families of Young School students). Tickets are $125 per person.
