"The MOHI Food & Wine Festival is one of the better examples of an accessible and navigable event that brings guests in direct contact with amazing local chefs and winemakers. Organized by Chef Charlie Palmer and Santa Clara Valley entrepreneur Frank Leal, the festival came back for its second installment on Oct. 5 in downtown Morgan Hill. Impressed by the region's farms, restaurants and wineries, Palmer and Leal created the inaugural event last year,"
"A sold-out crowd feasted on superb pairings like the Lion Ranch 2023 Grenache Blanc made by Kim Engelhardt from San Martin, which paired nicely with bites of Toma and other cheeses from Pt. Reyes, as well as with the house-smoked pastrami pastry with gruyere and Wise Goat Organics kraut from Cristobal Castro of Leal Hospitality. Morgan Hill's Twice Tyger 2023 Petit Verdot complimented the short ribs with marina from Bryan Voltaggio of Voltaggio Brothers Steakhouse in Santa Monica,"
