marketplace, paired with specially designed menus.
In each city, the gala dinners will be moderated by longtime PFV friend Serena Sutcliffe M.W. head of Sotheby's Wine Department.
Guests will have the opportunity
to celebrate their passion for fine food and wine through intimate and
personal conversation with 11 families who are the historic owners of
some of the world's very greatest vineyards.
The PFV
members in attendance will be Alessia Antinori (Marchesi Antinori),
Baroness Philippine de Rothschild (Château Mouton Rothschild), Laurent
Drouhin (Maison Joseph Drouhin), Egon Müller (Egon Müller Scharzhof),

Sebastiano Rosa (Tenuta San Guido) and Pablo Alvarez (Vega Sicilia).
A Primum Familiae Vini collection case,

under the hammer of Serena Sutcliffe M.W. at the gala dinners for the
benefit of a local charity.
