Vintage Wine Distributor and Grand Cru Wine Company
June 22nd, 2019
Five Star Sensation is a wine and food event benefiting University Hospital’s Seidman Cancer Center and is held every 
other year in Cleveland, Ohio. The first event was in 1987.
Five Star brings together principals of renowned wineries and restaurants from around the world. Vintage Wine Distributor has been the primary wine source of this event since the beginning. Today, the event is large, complicated and successful. We consistently raise in excess of two million dollars. This year Vintage Wine was the exclusive source of wines for this world-class event.
The 2019 Five Star Sensation occurred on Saturday, June 14. Vintners and chefs arrived earlier in the week for a variety of work and entertainment. Friday night was a gala dinner for the major donors held on the concourse of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Saturday event was attended by just shy of 2,000 people. Sunday, Vintage Wine hosted a trade show drawing approximately 200 trade customers.
Why do we do it?
We see this as THE major Wine & Food event in Ohio.
We see this as a major fund-raising event for one of the premier hospitals in the country, if not the world.
We see this as our part in building the path towards diminishing the destructive devastation caused by cancer.
We see this as an opportunity to augment the wine culture in Northeast Ohio…
…which speaks to our Corporate Culture.
We are a Company of Distinction,
Selling Wines of Significance,
To and From People who Care.
To those who came to Ohio to help us, we say THANK YOU!
