NEW
YORK, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Grapes for Humanity Global Foundation (GFH GLOBAL) is
thrilled to announce that their fifth NYC "Legends" wine dinner
will be chaired by Chef José Andrés at The Bazaar by José
Andrés on October 16, 2024 at
6pm in support of Hôpital
Albert Schweitzer (HAS) in
Haiti.
"The most legendary men and women in wine are coming together to
support the incredible work of HAS in Haiti! I have seen firsthand how critical they
are in the community, going where no others go, to bring life
saving care to those in urgent need," shared José
Andrés.
The dinner comes at a critical time for HAS' work in
Haiti. The hospital is supporting
the country during a time of incredible turmoil as one of the few
24/7 hospitals able to remain open. HAS has served the people of
Haiti for over 65 years. The
recent turmoil in Haiti has
dramatically increased the need for HAS' work. "I am
very proud of the generosity of our friends in the international
wine community who have stepped forward, without hesitation, to
support this dinner and the vital and urgent work of our long-time
friends at HAS," said Arlene
Willis, GFH Founder and Chair.
Aptly named, the "Legends" dinner, the evening will bring
together many of the world's most celebrated wine producers.
In attendance will be the event's honorary chairs: Piero Antinori (Marchesi Antinori),
Xavier Barlier (Champagne Louis Roederer), David Pearson (Joseph Phelps Vineyards),
along with several of GFH Global's honorary directors: Prince
Robert de Luxembourg, (Château
Haut-Brion), Christopher
Barefoot (Opus One), Stefano Benini Frescobaldi
(Marchesi de' Frescobaldi), Thibault
Cagey (Maison Louis Jadot),
Mireial Torres Maczassek (Familia
Torres), Pablo Alvarez
(Bodegas Vega Sicilia), Frédéric Drouhin (Joseph Drouhin), Jean-Guillaume Prats (Clos du Marquis de Las
Cases).
"GFH has been a special and valued partner for HAS, dating back
to the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake," said HAS CEO
Jean Marc de Matteis. "Their
exceptional generosity, made possible through wine producers and
lovers around the globe, has meant everything, particularly for our
maternal and child health programs that are so vitally needed."
Guests will enjoy an eight-course menu designed by Chef José
Andrés, and a rare lineup of rare wines donated by each of the
producers in attendance. There will also be an auction of
donated wines that will excite all wine collectors since they are
directly from the vineyards' private collections.
