Wine makers and wine lovers joined together at the seventh annual Pittsburgh Wine Festival in the Club Lounges at Heinz Field to sample the tastes of more than 150 wineries from locales such as Portugal, Chile, New Zealand, California, and Pennsylvania. While enlightening the palates of 2,000 guests, there was a VIP tasting and a Grand tasting from wine makers all over the world. The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and Comcast helped to raise nearly $1.25 million for the University of Pittsburgh’s Cancer Institute.
