For those of you who may not personally know Christine Blumer, aka the Wine Diva, you probably have heard one of her hilarious and informative interviews with Steve Cochran on WGN Radio in Chicago, where she waxes philosophical about the latest and greatest wines and rituals. Chris is the founder of her own wine consulting company called Winediva Enterprises, which provides wine classes, private tastings, restaurant training, and wine writing for consumers, corporations, and professionals in the wine trade. Still others may have seen Chris around the Chicago theatre scene, perhaps as a company member of Appetite Theatre, or performing with any number of other theatre companies.

We are seeking to alleviate some of Christine’s financial pressures while she continues her Cancer Smackdown. Things that are not covered by insurance – parking for appointments alone can run almost $150 a month! – can be devastating enough, to say nothing of “experimental” treatments... Make no mistake, whatever you donate will make an enormous difference. Thank you for anything you can do.
