Now, she works as an Atlanta-based wine writer. Hall was one of many Roots Fund scholars who attended the organization’s charity auction gala at the Chelsea Piers Lighthouse in New York City on April 27: A thrilling night of food and wine, with bids that raised more than $200,000. An online auction raised an additional $215,000, for a total of $415,000 for the charity.
“The Roots Fund was instrumental in helping me find a pathway to the industry by providing support, mentorship and opportunity,” Hall told Wine Spectator. The organization provided Hall with educational scholarships, a sponsored wine trip to Paso Robles and a writing mentor.
The auction event was held in partnership with Wine Spectator and Zachys. In 2020, the Wine Spectator Scholarship Foundation donated $100,000 to the Roots Fund to provide scholarships within its Rooted in Education and Stay Rooted in Education programs; the former focuses on wine certification courses, while the latter provides college tuition support for winemakers and others in the wine business.

This Mission District restaurant effortlessly strips away the formality of a multicourse dinner and replaces it with conviviality, nostalgia and curiosity. With reverence for time and place, Lazy Bear is an ode to California where guests dine in concert with the season and can explore diverse wines, including an impressive collection of older California vintages.
