Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta Chef Gathering

In what has become an annual moment of joy for TABLE Magazine, we worked with Executive Director, Mary Hallahan and the crew at Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta (SFWCF). The wonderful Gabriella Marks captured a “class photo” of this year’s participating chefs. Inn and Spa at Loretto hosted the group. As always, the group’s wonderful sense of humor took over. What you see is just a hint of the delight of hanging out with this crew. Get your tickets organized so that you can experience firsthand the verve, vigor, and talent of this wonderful group.
