D'VINE DIVAS


February 21, 2008


Serving as a kick-off for the 2008 Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival and celebrating the talents of some extraordinary women, this divine dinner held at the Biltmore was hosted by Samantha Shanken of Wine Spectator and master sommelier, Laura DePasquale.  Female chefs from coast to coast prepared each course, which were paired with incredible wines, courtesy of Southern Wine & Spirits.  This fun, feminine and flavorful event also featured live and silent auctions, which benefit the DRI.
