A limited number of tickets remain for Pull the Cork on Saturday, Nov. 15, an intimate evening of wine and giving to benefit Lee BIA Builders Care.

To be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at The Forest Country Club in Fort Myers, Pull the Cork brings together the best of boutique wines and gourmet cuisine, featuring a reception with wine and hors d’oeuvres followed by a four-course seated dinner, wine tasting and auction.

Heath Porter, a 5-star sommelier and proprietor and president of Heathen Wine Tours, will pour wines from a curated selection of renowned vintners. The tasting will be artfully paired with a four-course menu by Chef Drew Tait of The Forest Country Club followed by a live auction with a selection of rare magnum wines up for bid.

Proceeds from the event will support Lee BIA Builders Care, the nonprofit charitable arm of the Lee Building Industry Association (BIA), in its mission of providing emergency construction services at no cost to needy and deserving elderly and/or disabled homeowners, and their families, who cannot obtain repairs through traditional means.

Tickets are $400 per person. To learn more or to register for the event, visit PullTheCork.org.
