Staff Report
This year’s Art of Dining wine dinner, a fundraiser for WTCI-TV, will have an interesting twist. Guests will be able to sample the winning wine from the PBS special “The Winemakers,” a six-episode series that follows 12 men and women who are in the wine-making business.
“The Art of Dining has become a highly anticipated annual tradition that offers a relaxed atmosphere of celebration and is our biggest fundraiser of the year,” said Paul Grove, WTCI president and CEO. “We wanted to make the event even more special during our 40th anniversary year by featuring the winning wine from ‘The Winemakers.’ “
This event provides an opportunity to explore the fine points of pairing food and wine while at the same time helping WTCI continue to provide quality programming and services to the community, Grove said.
Guests may purchase an “instant cellar” of featured wines from the dinner, including winning wine from the show.
The event will be held at St. John’s Restaurant and feature elegant cuisine prepared by award-winning chef, Daniel Lindley.
