Our "kick off" dinner of the 2014 - 2015 club year proved to be an excellent start to the season. We returned toThe Plantation at Ponte Vedra for a wonderful dinner created by an old friend of The Wine & Food Society of Jacksonville.

On October 23, 1992, Chef Craig Porter prepared an exquisite meal for The Wine & Food Society of Jacksonville as it celebrated its inauguration into The International Wine & Food Society. Throughout the years, Chef Porter has played an important part in our events, either in a teaching roll or preparing memorable dinners for us. This evening was no exception, as, once again, we enjoyed another memorable meal.
