The event will feature Chef Roland Mesnier, former
White House Pastry Chef, noted author, and popular speaker. The Todhunters will
offer fine wines for tasting and Chef Roland will present desserts popular with
First Families. He will autograph his renowned cookbook, All The Presidents’ Pastries, and present an illustrated
talk about his 25 years of service in the White House kitchen. Rev. Richard
Martin, founder of Operation Starfish, and Jim McDaniel, representing Food For The Poor, Inc., will also be on hand.
At approximately 3 p.m. Fr. Martin will officiate at

season for the grapes.
The public is invited to visit the idyllic Three Fox
Vineyards in the rolling Virginia countryside for a relaxing afternoon of
picnicking, wine tasting, learning and entertainment. A portion of the proceeds
from book and wine sales will go to Operation Starfish to support the work of
Food For The Poor, Inc. in Haiti. Food For The Poor is providing food, medical care, shelter and
reconstruction assistance to earthquake victims.
