    NAPLES WINTER WINE FESTIVAL

    A dinner to remember in the ‘Man Cave’

    The journalist and photographer covering a Naples Winter Wine Festival vintner dinner face painful choices every time: either to stay out in the reception area, listening to the guests recall what brought them to their first wine festival and admiring the floral-laden tables, the wine cellar and the yummies being passed (oh, and that wine: crystal glasses with offerings of tantalizing deep cranberry and the sunny side of clear); or to scrunch in a corner of the kitchen and watch the magic. Chef John Tesar (TEE-zar), the chef at this dinner, was inspecting the first appetizers. Every morsel on his trays serves a purpose. A live stream of vintner dinner kitchens during the Naples Winter Wine Festival could bring in even more money for the children’s causes it serves—and the people who watch them would be better cooks.
