The Markowitz Wine Tasting & Auction, held at the University Club, benefited St. Andrew Legal Clinic (SALC), a non-profit law firm supporting low-income families in the greater Portland area.

After a champagne reception, the 65 attendees tasted twelve wines hand-selected by the event host, Dave Markowitz of Markowitz, Herbold, Glade & Mehlhaf, PC. Guest auctioneers Albert Menashe from Gevurtz, Menashe, Larson & Howe PC and Dennis Rawlinson from Miller Nash LLP joined Markowitz in auctioning off 24 spectacular wine lots, including a 1945 Fonseca port and two bottles of Andre Agassi’s favorite wine, Sassicaia, which were autographed by the tennis star.

St. Andrew Legal Clinic is a community-based non-profit organization that provides quality legal services, in the area of family law, to low-income individuals and families who might otherwise not have access to them. The clinic has served more than 30,000 people since opening its doors in 1979. St. Andrew Legal Clinic’s main office is in northeast Portland, with branch offices located in Washington, Clackamas and Columbia counties. For more information, go to www.salcgroup.org.
