We invite our Members to welcome Emmy-nominated writer, producer, and food expert Padma Lakshmi for an exclusive wine release party this fall. Padma will join us for a first toast to our shared vision in bringing November’s pair of Wines of the Month to life — Padma White and Padma Red — alongside a delicious multi-course dinner. Alongside our very own Chef Matt McMillin and Master Sommelier Emily Wines, the “Taste the Nation” host and New York Times bestselling author will share her wisdom on all things food, wine, and passion for threading communities and world cultures together, table by table.
