Fashionable vino

A free wine tasting and fashion show will shut down the Capitol Avenue section of the Handle District on May 13. Starting at 6 p.m., the wine will be provided by Lodi-area wineries like Zinfandel specialists Macchia Wines and Klinker Brick Winery. Then, at 6:30 p.m., locally donated fashion will strut the runway and roll out on racks. Local shops including Ladybuggz Boutique and Project Runway’s Richard Hallmarq will serve the looks, salons will provide professional hair and makeup, and models from Sacramento Fashion Week will show it off. The free event will station gatekeepers at each entrance, seeking voluntary donations for Women Escaping a Violent Environment—more commonly known as WEAVE. Over the last three years, the event has raised nearly $8,000 for the nonprofit. More at http://thehandledistrict.com.
