Miami Beach, FL – February 24, 2017 – To create the best event during the best weekend of the year, the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival rounded up 60 of the nation’s top chefs to showcase their most gourmet samplings to pair with over 100 wines rated 90 points or higher on Wine Spectator’s scale. The Fontainebleau Miami Beach set the perfect stage with its own blend of Golden Era glamour and modern luxury as it played host to this grand walk-around affair. Only proprietors and winemakers from each winery were invited to pour their top varietals so guests could hear about how some of the world’s greatest vino is made from their vineyards to our palate. From aperitif to dessert, the event made sure guests glasses were decadently decanted and their plates were full of first-rate cuisine.
