Grapes for Humanity is an organization that helps to raise funds to benefit humanitarian causes around the world with the assistance of the international wine community, and Geddy Lee is a member of the board of directors. Back in April the charity hosted their 5th annual Fine Wine Auction with proceeds going to benefit the Nature Conservancy Canada, Tree Canada and local charities. One item included in the auction was a dinner for 8 at Barberian's Steak House in Toronto with Geddy and Alex, and that dinner ended up taking place this past week as described in this Instagram post:
What happens when great friends, great wines, and rock legends meet at a Toronto classic? Pure joy. Our winning bidder Chris Schmidt and friends shared an unforgettable evening with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson at Barberian's Steak House-stories flowing, glasses clinking, and a table filled with laughter. As a wine-event-based charity, moments like these remind us that generosity is best enjoyed in good company. Here's to camaraderie, exceptional bottles from Geddy's and Chris's personal collection, and memories that go down as smoothly as the last pour.
Thank you, Chris, and to everyone who supports Grapes for Humanity-together, we turn special evenings into meaningful impact. ...
