The Irish Heart Foundation will benefit from the proceeds of a lavish evening at the RDS, starting at 8 p.m. with a tasting of wines from over 30 top Californian producers, buffet dinner, wine auction, the Paddy Cole Jazz Band and more. Tables are for 10-12 people; £100 per person. Contact Nuala Campbell, 01-6685001. E-mail ncampbellirishheart.ie
