Kudos goes to the Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas, Maui No Ka Oi Magazine, and Chambers and Chambers Wine Merchants, who raised $3,125.00 for the Maui Culinary Academy. The amount raised was the largest for the Aipono wine dinner series done at the Westin KOR restaurant Pulehu, an Italian Grill. The the event provided students a unique opportunity to apprentice under resort executive chef Francois Milliet, one of Maui’s top chefs.
