Battle of the Barrels: An Evening of Wine, Connection & Purpose

Battle of the Barrels: A Wine-Tasting & Silent Auction Fundraiser

Benefiting Stand Firm Warrior Foundation
March 6, 2026
6-10 PM
The Crowe Mansion • Lincolnton, NC

Join us for Battle of the Barrels, an intimate evening set inside the stunning Crowe Mansion.

This is more than a wine tasting. It’s a night to slow down, gather with good people, and celebrate the beauty that can exist even after loss.

As you sip thoughtfully curated wines from Rayson Wines & Vineyards and Dynamis Estate Wines, enjoy dinner, meaningful conversation, and the warmth of being part of something that truly matters. Each glass poured supports Stand Firm Warrior Foundation, helping bring moments of comfort, joy, and hope to children and families facing pediatric cancer.

Battle of the Barrels was created to honor BJ Correll’s legacy — not through sadness, but through togetherness, laughter, and generosity. Held on the 10-year anniversary of BJ’s passing, this evening is a reminder that love continues, stories matter, and community can be a powerful force for healing.

Your Evening Includes:

• Seated dinner in an elegant historic setting. Catering by CC's Cafe.
• Wine tastings from two exceptional local wineries, with expert representatives
• Thoughtfully prepared small bites
• A curated silent auction featuring unique items and experiences
• Music by local DJ, DJ Gunz (Matthew Fox)
• A powerful evening of remembrance, gratitude, and community connection

First 50 ticket holders will receive a guided tour of the Crowe Mansion
