VeritageMiami, the beer, wine and food celebration that benefits United Way of Miami-Dade, celebrates its 21st year beginning October 5th with a craft beer tasting at Wynwood Walls. The festivities continue with an extraordinary wine tasting (more than 70 wineries and 30 restaurants) at Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables. Then, Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford headlines our Interactive Dinner at the J.W. Marriott Marquis in Miami, giving you the opportunity to cook along with him at your own cook station while he whips up four dazzling courses. VeritageMiami wraps upon Sunday October 9 with a gala brunch and auction featuring Champagne Perrier-Jouët at the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne. Lyn will be host, MC and your fellow taster at the events.

Benvenuto Brunello, an event held simultaneously in eight cities worldwide, was the debut of the storied 2019 vintage of Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany’s classic, iconic and all-sangiovese wine. I was the presenter for one of the three American debut tastings, and have the story here.
