A Special Note from Chef Michelle
This event is more than just a wine tasting—it’s a reflection of something much deeper.
Cancer has taken some of the people I love most—my mentor, my cousin, my grandmother, my uncle. Through my work at Pianta, I’ve met so many others who have been touched by this disease, and I’ve come to understand that cancer is not just about treatment—it’s about the entire journey. It’s about the in-between moments—the waiting, the uncertainty, the hope, the resilience.
When I was nominated for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Visionaries of the Year campaign, I knew I wanted to do more than raise funds—I wanted to create meaningful moments that bring people together for a purpose. This campaign is about action, impact, and using the power of food, connection, and generosity to make a difference.
Sip & Support is the first step in that journey. It’s an evening to celebrate life, to share in something beautiful, and to make a tangible impact in the fight against blood cancer. With the expertise of renowned sommelier Linda, the care and creativity behind our plant-based pairings, and the support of an incredible community, I know this will be a night to remember.
I would love for you to be part of it.
 
With gratitude,
