Six-Course Dinner for Heart’s Delight Vintners Event
Heart’s Delight hosted a six-course Vintners Dinner to benefit the American Heart Association. The Washington DC event was held at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium and featured wines of Château Margaux. The Design Cuisine team worked with Heart’s Delight to create a menu that paired seamlessly with the featured wines for the six-course dinner. The dinner was followed by a live auction of delicious wines. Here are photos of all six-courses. Yum!
