November 20, 2026 — ‘A Passion for Wine’ Gala
I am elated to return as a Featured Chef for ‘A Passion for Wine’ on November 20th—a black-tie gala benefiting research and support for Cystic Fibrosis.
Following the success of last year’s Carolina-inspired tastes, I am honored to return to create bespoke sweet and savory canapés for this year’s gala. The menu will be another exquisite heritage-inspired collection—a surprise that honors tradition and pairs beautifully with the evening’s exceptional wine selections.
It’s an evening of sparkle, sophistication and—most importantly—solidarity. Let’s turn every sip into hope for those living with cystic fibrosis.
Secure your tickets (or make a donation) and join me for a night of glamour with a purpose.
