A founder of Napa Valley Wine Library, Mary Frances, as MFK was known, was an active faculty member of the Wine Library's wine education classes and helped establish the Napa Valley Library Collection of wine-related materials at St. Helena Public Library.
Panelists were filmmaker Greg Bezat; Mary Frances's daughter Kennedy Golden; food and wine writer, editor, author, and symposia founder Antonia Allegra; food and wine writer and editor Jerry DiVecchio. Q&A's from both panel and audience were astutely moderated by distinguished wine writer, editor and author Bob Thompson.
Frog's Leap Winery provided a matchless setting for the al fresco evening paired with wood-fired pizza, popcorn, a fresh fruit punch, and Frog's Leap wines. The beauty of the surrounding gardens and wafts of fermenting Sauvignon Blanc created a brimming basket of Napa Valley hospitality. THANK YOU, Tori and John!
