Last night at Euphoria Festival in Greenville, South Carolina—US home of the MICHELIN guide—we teamed up with some phenomenal MICHELIN-starred chefs from all across the country for a dinner called “Seeing Stars.”
The night featured a stunning array of MICHELIN-starred chefs: Minh Phan of ☆ PHENAKITE in Los Angeles, Ryan Ratino from DC’s ☆☆ Jônt and ☆ Bresca, Suyoung Park of NY’s ☆☆ Jungsik, Curtis Duffy of ☆☆ Ever in Chicago, and Shaun Garcia of Soby’s New South Cuisine in Greenville.
It was an honor to pair the perfect wines with culinary creations from the country’s most inspired chefs, and early word is that the wines were the talk of the weekend!
