Guests are encouraged to purchase a chance at selecting a bag containing a bottle of wine or beer.
A chance is purchased for $10.
The guest selects a bag from those available.
The bottles are valued from $3 to $50. Some items are commercial grade wines or beers and others are home brewed beer or wine from a personal vineyard.
Once the bag is selected it is the bag the guest gets; the guest does not have the option to draw again.
Guests are welcome to purchase as many chances as he/she would like.
The Wine & Beer Grab is complete once all of the bags are gone.
The wine and beer may not be consumed on the premises.
