Sarasota, FL
Several dozen lucky patrons got to enjoy exquisite cuisine paired with wines from Caymus (the Wagner family) at Golden Palate restaurant, Mattison’s 41 in Sarasota to benefit Florida Winefest & Auction, which has raised over $8 million to help local disadvantaged children in the Sarasota-Manatee region since 1991!
Renowned chefs Chris Covelli and Paul Mattison (owner of Mattison’s) were honored to be invited to host this dinner at the famed James Beard House in New York City last December 2016! Fortunately for those unable to attend (and some who did attend came back for a second helping), the dynamic duo hosted the identical dinner in the private room at Mattison’s 41 in Sarasota, paired with the same excellent Caymus/Wagner family of wines as in New York!
Venu, the leading contemporary art and culture publication based in the New York area, along with Fred Bollaci Enterprises were media sponsors of the 2017 Florida Winefest & Auction in Sarasota! Winefest was featured in Fred’s Golden Palate column in the magazine, which was distributed at all Winefest events the past two weeks as the magazine is expanding its presence on Florida’s Southwest Coast in exclusive hotels, resorts, restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and more!
