May 15-17, 2014 The Bascom visual arts center in Highlands hosted this annual fête, which presented award-winning wines and food by celebrated chefs. The weekend featured wine dinners in private homes, educational seminars, and a Stock Your Cellars tasting event. Saturday’s gala included a dinner and live auction of rare wines, private dinners, and getaways. Proceeds benefitted The Bascom’ exhibition and education programs. Next year’s event takes place May 14-16.
