Michael Mina & Tyler Florence

Miami Beach, FL – February 21, 2013 – Yesterday, Best of the Bay took place at South Beach Food & Wine Festival’s northernmost venue, inside Bourbon Steak at the Turnberry Isle Resort in Aventura. For the authentic San Fran experience, Far Niente Winery poured varietals of its Napa produced Cabernet & Chardonnay. Joining Mina in the Fog City’s makeshift east coast kitchens and each preparing a course were Tyler Florence, Richard Reddington and Thomas McNaughton. After the meal, Cigar Aficionado magazine sponsored a special cigar bar to compliment the night of incredible food and wine.
