RICHLAND, Wash. – The public is invited to the Washington State University Blended Learning Spring Release Party at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 29, at Budd’s Broiler, hosted by Anthony’s Restaurants.

The event will include a social reception where guests can visit with WSU viticulture and enology (VE) students and faculty, taste the latest wines released from the Blended Learning series and enjoy a four-course gourmet dinner and wine pairing.

This is the third year that Anthony’s Restaurants has hosted a fundraising event for the VE program. The events have helped raise over $17,000. Funds raised through this event will support the purchase of a pickup truck to haul grapes and equipment for student learning and research projects.
