(San Francisco, CA) August 10, 2015 - The Gretta Foundation announced the addition of Executive Chef Rodney Worth, six-time East Bay Chef of the Year, as the Culinary Partner for the 2015 All About Wine fundraising and wine sales event. In addition to owning and operating six successful restaurants under Worth Group – including his flagship, “The Peasant & the Pear” in Danville - Chef Rodney has received accolades from many of the world’s leading culinary magazines including Michelin, Zagat and Bon Appetít. The 2015 All About Wine event will take place on Saturday, October 24 from 6pm-9pm at the Veterans Memorial Building in Lafayette, California.

All About Wine will feature tastings of multiple varietals from 20 of the premiere wineries in Northern California as well as culinary indulgences prepared by Executive Chef Rodney Worth. In addition attendees will receive a beautiful commemorative wine glass, a swag bag packed with special surprises, and will be treated to an extraordinary live auction and more. Attendees will also be able to purchase exquisite wines, many from boutique wineries with limited production which are not found in big box stores. A portion of the proceeds from the wine sales will benefit The Gretta Foundation.

Meg Styles, President and Founder of The Gretta Foundation said, “We are very excited to be working with Rodney and the rest of the Worth Group team. Rodney’s reputation as a culinary innovator and gracious host is unparalleled in the Tri-Valley area and his participation will ensure that the 2015 All About Wine event is truly special for everyone involved.”

“I am thrilled to be part of such a worthwhile charity event,” said Chef Worth, “I support The Gretta Foundation’s efforts to provide much needed nursing education to countries in need.”

With Rodney’s participation organizers are expecting a capacity audience and are encouraging those interested in attending and supporting The Gretta Foundation to buy their tickets early. Tickets are $100 offering attendees a memorable evening of exclusive wines, food pairings and enchanting surprises.
