Charleston Wine + Food kicked off last night in the College of Charleston’s Cistern Yard featuring many local chefs, breweries and winemakers. Guests came in droves to taste the culinary delights of local, regional and national chefs and dance to live music from Motown Throwdown and Doom Flamingo saxophonist Michael Quinn.
Charleston chefs including Shamil Velazquez of Delaney Oyster House and James London of Chubby fish served up delightful seafood samples, while Le Farfalle’s Michael Toscano dished out porchetta sandwiches in anticipation for his upcoming sandwich concept Da Toscano Porchetta Shop opening at 109 President St.
Charleston craft breweries, including LO-Fi Brewing and Commonhouse Aleworks, provided healthy pours of beer while sommeliers and wine experts kept the vino flowing.
