WINEFEST - November, 2007

Congratulations to our outstanding Culinary Arts Program for a dynamite presentation at the 2007 Winefest!

MTI had the biggest display: about 10 tables more than another other restaurant and the presentation was beautiful.

MTI also cooked for the VIP tent - what an honor! One guest declared MTI a "TOUCH DOWN!" Great job, Culinary team!
