The Wise Old Dog of Morris and West Hartford hosted its third annual Fête du Vin festival at South Farms in Morris on July 28. During the sold-out event, which pays homage to summer grilling season in the south of France, guests enjoyed their pick of more than 100 fine wines poured by local distributor, supplier and importer representatives, paired with Provençal-style food from Chef Joseph Cusano’s culinary team from Le Mazet in West Hartford cooked on a wood-fired grill. A portion of the proceeds benefited efforts for Litchfield County students pursuing careers in agriculture and farming.
