Carrie Orrico, owner of Big Fish Grill, presented a $1,000 check to Katie Fath of the Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation on July 11.  The funds were raised from a wine-tasting event held in the private dining room at the restaurant June 24.

The event featured John Bigelow of JM Cellars in Woodinville. Bigelow presented a select group of his wines to 28 attendees and shared stories about how he entered the wine business, the current wine culture and growing grapes in the state of Washington.
