A little bit about our host...

TONY “WINECHEF” LAWRENCE is the owner of A CHEF FOR YOU, LLC, based in Philadelphia, Pa., a lifestyle wine and food public relations and consulting company. Also, he works globally as a food and wine pairing specialist/event planner with major wineries, importers, distributors and fine wine shops.

For over twenty-seven years, Lawrence has been trained as a chef, sommelier, a certified wine judge, freelance writer, lecturer, and a food and wine educator.

Tony started to develop his skills at twelve years of age in the restaurants and the vineyards of Maryland. His formal culinary training began in vocational school, than summers in Germany, learning the foods and wines of Europe. He has a BS degree in Hotel, Restaurant Management from Widener University in Pennsylvania and is a Pro-chef CIA graduate from Greystone, in Napa, CA.

Tony was the first African-American chef and sommelier at two highly regarded country clubs in Philadelphia, PA, Germantown Cricket Club and Merion Golf Club. He spent three years as the executive chef and sommelier with the NFL Philadelphia Eagles, and six years on the movie sets catering to the stars.

Lawrence likes to think “outside of the box” when it comes to wine and food. He is always busy educating the trade and consumers on the art and technique of food and wine pairing. He is a passionate professional who tastes about seven hundred wines and about two hundred and fifty pairings a month. This keeps him on top of his game and why his cooking demos are fun and memorable to the last pairing.

He also makes a living composing detailed wine descriptions and creative tasting menus for retail shops, wineries, restaurants, and charity events. . In addition, to being an international wine judge, Lawrence is a member and lecturer with the Society Of Wine Educators, the American Wine Society, the German Wine Society and ZAP-Zinfandels Advocate and Producers. Tony has been featured in Black Enterprise magazine and other national publications.

Tony is a serious wine collector with a three thousand+ -bottle cellar, he is all about the wine as well as the food, as he explains in this May 2007 BE article. A true entertainer who ensures you will never want to miss the “Winechef’s” parties!

We look forward to seeing you there!
