While we all share a mutual love of good food and good wine, one of the best things about The International Wine & Food Society is the friendships that are developed. The Wine & Food Society of Jacksonville enjoys a diverse array of events - from Black Tie to "picnic casual". But without a doubt, one of our most fun events has been a pig roast. In 2009 we held our first, a huge success, when Dwelvin Simmons offered to do the honors as swine master and roaster. When he suggested we do it again, no one hesitated to accept his offer. And, of course, it too was a huge success.
