Photos From Last Night's Food Book Party: Corkscrewed
One of New York City's most tantalizing annual events, Food Book Fair, has spun off a new series called Food Book Party. And a party it was! The series ended on Tuesday, December 1, with Food Republic and Zero Point Zero's very own Food Crimes at center stage. A screening of Food Crimes' fourth episode "Corkscrewed: The Art of Fake Wine" was followed by a panel discussion led by senior investigations editor Christine Haughney. She was joined by Momofuku's director of beverage Jordan Salcito and master sommelier and co-founder of Corkbuzz Laura Maniec and the three discussed fraudulent wine, working in the industry most often referred to as a "boy's club" and more. Couldn't make it out to the party? Stay tuned to Food Republic for future events.
