Democrats looking to self–medicate, release anger, or just have a good time should fit in at this fundraiser.

This Saturday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. marks the second annual DFL Grape Stomp. The event will be held at Falconer Vineyards in Red Wing, about an hour and a half drive from the Twin Cities.

Those that make the trek can enjoy a variety of wines, food, grape stomping competitions, live jazz, and giveaways. Local candidates are expected to discuss campaign issues, and drunken and/or spirited political discussions and rants are welcomed.

Those interested in attending should check out at www.dfl38.org or call 612.618.4446. Tickets are $40 presale, $50 at the door. Though this event is not endorsed by any particular candidate or committee, proceeds from the stomp will benefit the local party units of the Democratic Farmer Labor Party in Senate District 37, Senate District 38, and Goodhue County.
