A Wedding Reception, and Everyone’s Invited

I don’t usually post about wine events, but I thought this was pretty cool. Cav Wine Bar & Kitchen here in San Francisco will host a reception beginning at 12 noon tomorrow for all the June 17th newlyweds married at nearby City Hall (map), as well as any well-wisher who wants to stop by and toast to marriage equality.

*The California Supreme Court voted in May to overturn the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. Today’s Chronicle has a lead story describing the long road to this moment, as well as what lies ahead. Link here.

Tomorrow’s event is co-sponsored by Heidsieck & Co. Monopole Champagne, and Cav will donate 10 percent of all June retail sales of this Champagne to Equality California. Here’s the official announcement from the folks over at Cav:
