Over 70 friends and supporters gathered for The Carter Burden Center for the Aging’s 2009 Annual Spring Benefit Wine Tasting Event at Le Dû’s Wines at 600 Washington Street in Manhattan. Guests were treated to a sampling of wines from various countries and participated in an auction featuring a private tasting by Jean-Luc Le Dû.  The Evening’s Co-Chairs were George Brokaw, Hannah McFarland, Duane Hampton and Susan Burden.  The event benefitted The Carter Burden Center’s programs and services offered to seniors from Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
