James Beard Foundation toasted multiple James Beard Foundation Award-winner Wolfgang Puck as the guest of honor at Chefs & Champagne® New York at the Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, New York. Over 770 guests, including actress Kim Cattrall and restaurateur Sirio Maccioni of Le Cirque fame, attended the annual lavish tasting party and fundraiser which featured culinary offerings from a select group of 35 fine chefs from New York City and beyond, flowing Champagnes, and the wines of Wölffer Estate Vineyard.The James Beard Foundation's annual Chefs & Champagne gala is considered the East End’s premiere culinary event. A silent auction consisting of fine dining experiences, rare wines and spirits, cookware and culinary travel packages raised over $42,000 to support the James Beard Foundation’s mission and educational programs. With a long tradition of supporting culinary education, two of the 2008 James Beard Foundation Scholarship Program recipients were acknowledged at the event. Robert Hawk of Cohoes, NY received the Christian Wölffer Scholarship and Christina Cassel of Sagaponack, NY received the Peter Kump Memorial Scholarship. Established in 2006, the scholarship fund supports students in their study of food and wine. More Infomation click here.
