Guests at the Alzheimer’s Association’s annual “Making Memories” wine tasting and auction will enjoy learning about a selection of Brown-Forman fine wines, and will have the opportunity to bid on luxurious auction items. The event will be held at Horseshoe Casino in Southern Indiana on Feb. 18.
 
Based on the theme, “An Affair to Remember,” the fundraiser will feature wine tasting, dinner and live music.  Among the items up for bid is a South African safari.
