Barboursville

We had a work party to celebrate how well the office did last academic year in fundraising. W&L received 2 of its highest gifts ever. One for $33 million and one for $100 million. Can you imagine having so much money that you could give that much away? They each were from individual people, not like a bunch of people or a corporation...just individuals! Anyway, we had a dinner at Barboursville. Barboursville is a winery and vineyard that is very prestige. There was, of course, wine tasting and a small tour of the vineyards, which were absolutely beautiful. After that we had a 4 course dinner with wine pairings for each course. Dinner was $95 a person!! Needless to say, everyone had a little to much to drink and as the night worn on it became more and more awkward. Thank goodness there was one other LDS girl that works in my department there and we hung out with each other all night. It was a fun night and a probably a once-in-a-lifetime chance to eat a $100 meal!
