2014 FOOD NETWORK SOUTH BEACH WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL

FEBRUARY 20-23, 2014

Going into its 13th year, the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by FOOD & WINE began as a one-day festival known as the Florida Extravaganza held at FIU’s Biscayne Bay Campus. For five years, from 1997-2001, the Florida Extravaganza showcased wines from national and international wineries paired with food from local restaurants and chefs working with students of FIU’s School of Hospitality & Tourism Management. In 2002, Lee Brian Schrager, then director of Special Events and Media Relations at Southern Wine & Spirits of America, took the reigns of the one-day festival and brought his vision for the festival to life by relocating it to South Beach.

In 2013 the Festival broke three of its own records, with attendance growing to over 65,000, bringing in more than $5.1 million in ticket sales and exceeding $4.1 million in sponsorship sales. An integrated marketing and public relations program garnered over three billion media impressions and proceeds totaled $2.1 million for FIU.

Tribute Dinner honoring Danny Meyer and Chuck Wagner with Master of Ceremonies Jonathan Tisch presented by Bank of America Part of The New York Times Dinner Series

Date & Time: February 22, 2014 | 7:00PM
Price: $500
Location: Loews Miami Beach Hotel 1601 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach

The Festival’s host hotel Loews Miami Beach is proud to once again host the annual Tribute Dinner. This year, we are pleased to pay tribute to Union Square Hospitality Group CEO Danny Meyer and Caymus Vineyards owner and winemaker Chuck Wagner. Loews Hotels' chairman and CEO Jonathan Tisch will serve as the evening's emcee.

This exquisite evening will feature the highest quality dishes from multiple chefs representing Union Square Hospitality Group's successful roster of restaurants; which will be paired with the finest wines from the Wagner family of wines.

At the young age of just 27, Meyer launched Union Square Cafe in 1985. Its immediate success was followed by the opening of Gramercy Tavern (1994), Eleven Madison Park and Tabla (1998), Blue Smoke and Jazz Standard (2002), its iconic Shake Shack (2004), a full service catering, sports and entertainment business with Union Square Events (2005), Maialino (2009), Untitled (2011), and North End Grill (2012). Meyer is also the author of New York Times bestseller Setting the Table (HarperCollins, 2006).

For Chuck Wagner, wine is not just a passion, it's a family business. Wagner founded Caymus Vineyards with his parents, Charlie and Lorna, in 1972. Among numerous accolades, Chuck received Wine Spectator's "Distinguished Service Award" in 2007, and Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon remains the only wine in the world to have been twice awarded the magazine's "Wine of the Year Award" for the 1984 and 1990 vintages. Chuck says that his greatest joy after over 40 years in the business is not the daily wine he enjoys as the fruit of his labors, nor the success he's garnered-but the fact that his love of wine and winemaking has a contagious spirit that, to date, three out of his four children-Charlie, Joseph and Jenny-have caught. All Wagner wines embody the principles learned through five generations of quality farming and winemaking in California.

Past Festival honorees include the Robert Mondavi Family, Ferran Adrià, Eric Ripert, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Emeril Lagasse, Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse, Charlie Trotter, Marchese Piero Antinori, Mr. and Mrs. José Ferrer Sala, Christophe Navarre, Alice Waters, Jamie Oliver and Martha Stewart.

The Rosé Lifestyle of St. Tropez

In 2006, Sacha Lichine (son of the late Alexis Lichine, one of the most influential wine writers and producers of the last century) purchased and restored the Château D’Esclans estate located about 30 minutes north of St. Tropez.

The vineyards from this property are planted in the heart of the Côtes de Provence appellation up in the rocky limestone hillsides away from the warmer flatlands.

The key grapes grown are Grenache and Rolle (A.K.A. Vermentino).

Working meticulously from vineyard to the bottle, Sacha partnered up with Patrick Léon (Former winemaker for Château Mouton-Rothschild, Opus One, and Viña Almaviva), to create a new style of rosé using Burgundian techniques as well as a high percentage of old vines.

The results immediately created a buzz amongst sommeliers, journalists, and wine aficionados.

A new chapter had begun in the world of rosé.

Discover first hand with Sacha Lichine the secrets to producing what many have described as the "Greatest Rosé in the World".

Featured Wines:

Château D'Esclans "Whispering Angel" Rosé 2013

Château D'Esclans Rosé 2012

Château D'Esclans "Les Clans" Rosé 2011
