Food, Fun  & Wine

Superlatives are insufficient. Suffice it to say the Fourth Annual Food & Wine Spectacular at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Virginia, surpassed expectations with more than 450 guests, 125 selections from more than 30 of the country’s top wineries, and a bountiful selection of superb cuisine prepared by 12 of the nation’s leading chefs. The event gave food and wine connoisseurs an opportunity to learn from, and interact with, some of the country’s most renowned chefs and elite wineries. The “who’s who” of wine included Fred Dame of the Seagram’s Classic Wine Co. and America’s first Master Sommelier. The weekend’s smooth blending of culinary expertise and entertainment served as a tribute to The Homestead’s own “Chef Albert,” who opened his kitchen to his colleagues.
