Pebble Beach Food and Wine

PEBBLE BEACH, CA || APRIL 8 -11
The Aspen Food and Wine Classic has long been one of my favorite events. But, having attended three times, I'm looking to other, newer food & wine events to experience in places I have not explored so much. This could be the alternative of choice. As it is a sister event to the Aspen deal, it's got to be top-shelf.

It's short notice, I know, but if you have the means and your calendar is open, I'd blast off to Monterrey Peninsula this weekend. It's all there. 250 wines, 60 chefs (too many names to drop but they include Pépin, Puck, Yamaguchi and Tsai) 4 days of foodie bliss and, of course, Pebble Beach. One could experience a flogging there and almost enjoy it. That coast line is beautiful. I had the great fortune of playing The Pebble Beach Golf Links in 1997. It was the experience of a lifetime. So , even if you can't hit this event, get to this place one day. It's ALL THAT!

Tickets start at $100 and packages top out at $4,750 for this event, only in its 3rd year. Several charities benefit from the event and there is even an online auction for those who cannot make it but love the deals charity auctions typically deliver. ONLINE AUCTION HERE

As always, feel free to send me interesting events for me to consider posting. If you'd like to know what kinds of events I am looking for read the following white papers, posted on my blog. (1) What is an Event (2) Got an Event? This blog DOES NOT feature other kinds of gatherings such as "promotions", "spectacles", "performances", "attractions", "sporting events", "private events", "recurring club nights" or things that are strictly "parties".
