Los Angeles, July 6, 2016 — RUSNAK Auto Group and Mission Wine and Spirits have joined forces to present the 6th Annual Wine and Food Affair this Friday, July 8, beginning 6:30 pm.

Co-hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Vicken and Salpi Mankerian of Mission Wine and Spirits and Liz Rusnak Arizmendi, Vice President of Public Relations at RUSNAK Auto Group, and Andrew Arizmendi, General Manager of Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Maserati RUSNAK/Pasadena, the elegant evening will feature fine vintage and varietals from 35 wineries, and culinary delights created by Sushi Roku, Café Santorini, Bourbon Steak House, and Porto’s Bakery. Guests will enjoy sipping, savoring, and strolling among a magnificent collection of Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, and Maseratis. Moreover, RUSNAK Auto Group will provide a cigar lounge, where guests will be offered fine cigars along with cognac-tasting, while a DJ will spin upbeat sounds in the background.

 

Longtime supporters Vicken and Salpi Mankerian of Mission Wine and Spirits have hosted ABMDR’s annual Wine-tasting Event for six years, delighting supporters with unforgettable events that feature fine wines and culinary creations.

 

“A silent and live auction of fabulous items surely will bring in much-needed funds for this very important nonprofit,” stated Liz Rusnak Arizmendi. “RUSNAK Auto Group gladly supports ongoing efforts of the ABMDR cause,” she continued.

 

“The Wine and Food Affair will be a beautiful event where our guests will have a wonderful time while supporting ABMDR’s life-saving mission,” said Dr. Frieda Jordan, president of the registry. “We are extremely grateful to Vicken and Salpi Mankerian as well as Liz Rusnak Arizmendi and Andrew Arizmendi of RUSNAK Auto Group for their support.”
