The 13th Annual Santa Fe Wine Classic was held on April 5th at Quinta Mazatlan. Catered by the Rio Grande Valley’s most prestigious restaurants, The Santa Fe Wine Classic is a luxurious affair that showcases over 300 wines from the most renowned regions in the world - all this under a canopy of stars that sparkle just as bright as the most coveted wines of the night.
The Santa Fe Wine Classic was initiated by Sony Rego in 2009, who felt the community would best be served through continued education and career improvement. With the help and support of the local business community, the Santa Fe Foundation’s dedication to paving a better future for the next generation has helped hundreds of students.
Following this year’s Santa Fe Wine Classic event, Sony and Albert Rego, owners of the Santa Fe Steakhouse, donated $25,000 from the Santa Fe Foundation to support student scholarships for the Culinary Arts Program at South Texas College. This program offers hands-on training and relies heavily on industry partners like the Santa Fe Steakhouse & Cantina.
