Versai
The Wine Bar Teams To Help Yorba Linda Residents
Recover from Fire Ravages with an Event Set for
Wednesday, January 14th
YORBA
LINDA, Calif., December 4, 2008-- Robert Sarai,
the innovative restaurateur of Fitness Pizza &
Grill, and the newly minted Versai the Wine Bar,
knows his neighbors need help after suffering
losses caused by recent fires that destroyed over
150 homes in the city.
Teaming up
with DirectBuy of Orange County, the versatile
Sarai announced today he plans to host a wine and
food event Wednesday, January 14th, at his elegant
wine bar to help contribute relief to fire
victims. The event will run from 5pm to 10pm. He
states, "We are all affected when disaster
strikes, and our impulse is first to help our
neighbors and support their rebuilding efforts. We
will pull out all stops to make this event
delicious, effervescent, and
memorable."
Sarai, a
DirectBuy member, was thrilled when Geoff &
Ann Rocke, co-owners of the members-only showroom,
offered guests at the event the chance to win a
free DirectBuy membership. The membership is a
value in excess of $5,000.00— as their $85 per
person cost for the evening of food and wine
soiree enters them automatically in a drawing for
the membership.
Moreover,
Sarai has added that 50% of all proceeds for the
event be donated to victims of the fires. Guests
can sample wines from the Old and New worlds with
plenty to eat. These dishes include a Cheese-Fruit
platter, Beef and Chicken kabob sauté, Coconut
Shrimp, Crab Cakes, Kobe Beef Lobster and Spinach
Ravioli, finished with an assortment of desserts.
"You can be assured that no one participating in
this fundraiser will go away hungry," Sarai
asserts.
"Robert is a
fine person, makes delicious food, pours and sells
a variety of wines, and is an outstanding member
of the business community in Yorba Linda. I am
also proud he is a happy member of DirectBuy,"
Rocke says. "We live in a great place, and when
something as unpredictable as wild fires attack
our community, we’ve got to step up to
help."
Guests who
attend this event can sip and stock up on wine for
gift giving and entertaining. In addition to the
food and wine, guests will mingle with live
sensational music. "We live in interesting times,
we want to help our neighbors directly and bring a
little happiness into the situation," Rocke
says.
Rocke adds he
intends to stock up on wines himself. "Great
selection and value—that's what makes Versai the
Wine Bar so appealing. We look forward to
supporting our neighbors and this is more than
fine food and wine pairings—it is a pair of local
businesses reaching out."
As you
walk into Versai the Wine Bar you will feel as
though you've journeyed to Europe and other ports
of California with just the right level of cozy
intimacy. Versai is draped with twinkling grape
vines and elegantly lit candle chandeliers add to
the enchantment as you explore a wall to wall
wooded cherry bar with custom vintage
architectural design. This ambience sets the stage
for a memorable experience. This upscale chateau
tasting room is committed to excellent hospitality
always eager to please and delight its guests.
