On Saturday, July 23rd, the sweltering heat didn’t stop over 1,000 guests from gathering at Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack to honor multiple James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef, author and restaurateur John Besh during the James Beard Foundation’s 26th annual Chefs & Champagne®.

It was Besh’s first time in the Hamptons and his visit exceeded his expectations. “It’s much better than I ever imagined, complete with just connecting with friends,” Besh told Hamptons.com. “Aarón [Sanchez] and I rented a house. We’ve been on the beach having fun.” The chef was beyond touched that James Beard Foundation picked him as this year’s honoree. “I’m really tickled to death to be here bringing all these great people together,” Besh explained. “There’s 40 chefs here tonight raising money for various scholarships. This is really great. Using food to do good and bring people together and have a great time, at the same time.”

“One of the most important goals in my winemaking is to be food friendly,” Roman Roth of Wölffer Estate Vineyard shared with us. “What better place to show the wines than here with fantastic chefs at Chefs and Champagne? We really can showcase why Long Island wines and Wölffer wines are so special and are versatile and go with different great dishes.”

The soiree also celebrated Evelyn Q. Grantm who was awarded the 2016 Christian Wölffer Scholarship and the ICC Intensive Sommelier Course tuition waiver, and multiple James Beard Foundation Scholarship recipient Christina Cassel.

In addition to satisfying guests sweet, savory and bubbly needs, Chefs & Champagne® highlighted fine-dining experiences, wines and spirits, cookware, and culinary travel packages during its silent auction, which raised over $75,000 in support the Foundation’s mission, educational and Impact Programs.

The New York City-based national not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization’s mission is “to celebrate, nurture, and honor America’s diverse culinary heritage through programs that educate and inspire.”

This summer, Dria Murphy, wellness expert and brand builder, launched by dria, a curated shoppable lifestyle site of “the best of” products within wellness, beauty, interiors and fashion according to her point of view.
