Darien’s P.E.O. Chapter E, a women’s organization that supports education and charitable funds, will hold a Sip and Shop wine tasting event at the J.McLaughlin store at 1020 Post Road from 3 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 15.

Light bites and spring shopping are also part of the event, along with the Rose wine tasting with hostesses Kara Duncan, Sheila Haskell and Marylou Williams.

Fifteen percent of sales will benefit the local P.E.O. chapter.

According to the announcement: “P.E.O. chapters support the educational and charitable funds of the P.E.O. Sisterhood, but are not classified as charitable by the I.R.S. Therefore, donations to individual chapters do not meet the I.R.S. requirements for a charitable income tax deduction. P.E.O. shall not be liable in any way for any goods and services supplied by third-party vendors or public establishments.”
