Guests, including GW President Steven Knapp, mingled at San Francisco’s Forgery Bar.

Malbec met braised duck mini tostadas, pinot noir found roasted pork tenderloin bruschetta, and sangiovese was introduced to autumn-spiced red beets on endive as more than 100 GW alumni, parents, prospective students and other guests also mingled during a November afternoon of food and wine pairings in San Francisco.

The event, sponsored by the Office of Alumni Relations, spotlighted the wines of the award-winning Selby Winery, owned by Susie Selby, MBA '84, within the warm, wood- and red brick-tones of Forgery Bar, owned by John and Ann Marie Conover, parents of GW senior Madeline Conover.

The event came on the eve of the Fortune Global Forum (p. 15), Fortune magazine's invitation-only conference of CEOs and other business leaders for which the GW School of Business served as the education partner.
