Wine Spectator: Roots Fund Auction Raises $200,000 For Wine Industry Diversity Efforts

Natasha Hall was processing catastrophe insurance claims when she learned about the Roots Fund. In search of a new path, she reached out to the nonprofit organization, which is dedicated to helping minorities enter the wine industry, and now she works as an Atlanta-based wine writer. Hall was one of many Roots Fund scholars who attended last week’s charity auction gala at the Chelsea Piers Lighthouse in New York, to help raise money for the organization’s initiatives. A thrilling night of food, wine and bids raised more than $200,000. Wine Spectator has more.
