Sunshine and the sweet smell of roses filled the afternoon air June 30^th at A Day of Rosé. 120 guests dressed in florals and pink attended the affair that took place at the home of Warren and Laura Kruger. Rosé from Entourage, La Carafe, Comstock Wines and Château D’Esclans flowed through the glasses of each guest as they gathered near the Roaring Fork River. The event featured live and silent auctions benefitting the Shining Stars Foundation. Tunes by DJ Folami swept through the valley as guests snacked on cuisine by Meat & Cheese and Conundrum Catering Companies. The day concluded after raising over $200,000 for the Shining Stars Foundation which brings families of children facing cancer to Aspen each winter for a week of life-changing support. VIPs included Harry and Phyllis Sica, Gail Stanger, Lori Pevny, Damian Guillot, John Cary and Tom Lewis. A highlight of the evening was a bidding war over a custom menswear attire package by Rickey Lamitie of élevée Fine Clothing. The battle ended in a tie and was no doubt inspired by the handsome modeling of pink sport coats by Warren Kruger and John Sarpa.
