Ted Lindsay Benefit Wine Tasting Hockey legend good guy Ted Lindsay, who has turned his still considerable energy to defeating autism, hosted a Wine Tasting at Tre Monti Ristorante and 200 people (at $125 per person) attended. In addition to the splendid cuisine, guests savored the offerings at six wine stations mostly manned by celebrities like Tomas Holmstrom, Mickey Redmond, Trevor Thompson, Patrick Eaves and Craig Wolanin. They could also bid in a silent auction ($6,000), buy raffle tickets ($1,100) for a Ted Lindsay Foundation logo office chair and get their pictures taken with the Stanley Cup. The event brought many of the Lindsay loyalists for the first time to the restaurant. In addition to research, the foundation also provides financial support to the families touched by autism at Beaumont’s Center for Human Development.
