What better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than with the incoming president of Women Chefs and Restaurateurs, Nina Curtis, and a star-studded lineup of chef-advocates? This seasonal, vegan dinner at the legendary James Beard House in New York City will showcase how this group of top toques is rethinking contemporary cuisine and representing the powerful voice of females in the culinary world.
Each course includes an expert wine pairing featuring sustainable wine from female winemakers and/or proprietors. Wine pairings are sponsored by Women of the Vine & Spirits, the leading trade organization dedicated to the advancement and empowerment of women in the alcohol beverage industry.
