“The Tonic of the Wildness’ fundraiser was held on Sunday, August 14, at Beckmen Vineyards in Los Olivos, California. Beckmen Vineyards introduced its Red Roan Wild Blend, created by Beckmen exclusively to benefit the wild horses and burros at Return to Freedom’s Wild Horse Sanctuary. We spent a relaxing picnic-style afternoon by the pond at the Beckmen Vineyard Winery estate and tasting room — with good wine, food, music, and friends! Live, beautiful South American acoustic and vocals were provided by Jacqueline Fuentes and Manabu.
