The Fluvanna SPCA held its second-annual wine tasting event at Keswick Vineyards Saturday.

Dozens gathered for an afternoon of wine tasting, a dessert bar and a silent auction to help the Fluvanna SPCA. The vineyard also donated a portion of all wine sales to the organization.

Leah Shiraishi, the president of the Fluvanna SPCA Board of Directors, said the event is important because the organization cannot exist without donations.

"We have more animals coming in with fewer resources to do the job, so fundraisers like this really are our lifeline to survival for the organization," Shiraishi said.

The donations go directly toward animal care, like shelters and food. Organizers said they want to surpass last year's tally of $5,000.
