It’s the Faith Middleton Food Schmooze®/WNPR winter event… The Sixth Annual Heart-to-Heart Champagne Dinner Dance February 12 at the gorgeous Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill in Middletown, Conn.
Top chefs will cook their hearts out for this seated dinner, and we have exciting wines to match every mouth-watering course from the Frederick Wildman portfolio. No wonder this has been a sell-out year after year, attracting guests of all ages. Daughters and sons have surprised a parent… mates have surprised mates… best friends have teamed up for the fun of a dinner dance, featuring the renowned Alex Nakhimovsky Orchestra and singers, who can play dreamy and also know how to swing. (But keep in mind, you don’t even have to dance if you’re in it simply for the food and wine in a beautiful setting.)
Dress is all over the map, from festive to formal. (We think we remember a man in a kilt, and another couple in ’40s attire…)
Our new, dazzling location is The Wadsworth Mansion, which will be candle-lit and the perfect setting to match the creativity of our award-winning talented chefs, to whom we are indebted for their skill and amazing generosity:
- Jeffrey Lizotte | ON20
- Matthew Bouffard | Chamard Vineyards Farm, Winery, Bistro
- Edward A. Jones III | Firebox Restaurant
- Jason Sobocinski | Caseus
- Vinnie Carbone | Carbone’s Ristorante
- Frank Proto | Barcelona Wine Bar New Haven
- Avi Szapiro | ROIA Restaurant
What’s better, as we lean into winter, than having something terrific to look forward to… tickets, to benefit WNPR programs, are $95 per person: wnprhearttoheart.org. Faith and the team cannot wait to see you there for an evening of delights and delicious fun!
