Holiday Gala 2023

On the enchanting evening of November 18, 2023, the esteemed members of the La Jolla Wine and Food Society (LWFS) gathered to celebrate a significant milestone—the organization's 72nd anniversary, coinciding with the festive holiday season. This event not only testified to our society's strength and resilience but also mirrored the nuanced aging process of a fine wine, gracefully paired with the diverse and flavorful journey of life. Hosted at the scenic La Jolla Country Club (LJCC), it added an extra layer of grandeur to this memorable occasion.

The evening unfolded as a harmonious symphony of flavors and knowledge; a true reflection of the high standards set by LWFS. LJCC Chef Matt Moyer expertly curated a pairing of cellar wines and a menu that elevated our understanding of the culinary arts. This culinary symphony resonated with the essence of our society—sophistication, camaraderie, and a shared love for life's finer pleasures.

In commemorating our 72nd year, the La Jolla Wine and Food Society showcased its enduring refinement, akin to a well-matured wine. The evening also served as a proud moment to recognize Bruce Burgener, a longstanding member, with the well-deserved Gold Medal Award, acknowledging his dedication and significant contributions to our esteemed society.
