Red and White and Green edited by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady Most people have a favorite and can easily decide if they want red or white wine. But now there is another choice. Green. The wine doesn't look any different, (unless you have had way too much of it) but the way it is grown is very unique. You enjoy the health benefits of wine and feel good about the way the grapes were grown. I'll toast to that--won't you? THE PALM RESTAURANT GROUP TOASTS TO GOING GREEN WITH A SERIES OF BENZIGER WINE DINNERS  WHAT: The Palm Restaurant Group teams up with Benziger Family Winery this summer to offer guests a series of “Green” wine dinners at participating Palm restaurants nationwide.

Known as the "place to see and be seen," the famed walls of each Palm are adorned with the caricatures of celebrities, politicians, and socialites who make up its impressive customer base. Through four generations, the two families who opened the original Palm in 1926 on the east side of Manhattan have maintained co-ownership of the restaurant company. Executive Vice President Bruce Bozzi Jr. continues the evolution of the Palm Restaurant Group as it moves into a new generation. The Palm currently has more than 25 restaurants in 24 cities across the United States, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. For more information on The Palm, visit www.thepalm.com.
