Toast of Taos began as a vision in the mind of Holy Cross Hospital Foundation Board members. In March, 2006, we were asked to take over the Southwest Wine Competition. The Competition had moved from one town to the next for many years. It needed a permanent home and a sponsoring organization that would treat it with tender loving care.
We were skeptical at first. Our mission is to support Taos's Holy Cross Hospital and the health of Taos County residents. We do this by raising money to buy cutting-edge equipment and to purchase medical care and equipment for needy children. How could we raise money with a wine competition? As we thought and thought, we came up with ideas. How about an art gallery tour? How about some wine dinners? How about a golf tournament? And what would we name this new event? TOAST OF TAOS!!!
We set the time (mid-August 2006) and the venues for the event, and we went to work.
Next...more on the creation of the First Toast of Taos.
