EWIB-Pittsburgh: Sizzle & Swirl – A Grilling and Wine Tasting Experience

Executive women in the Pittsburgh life sciences Industry gathered for a vibrant summer social at Palate Partners in Lawrenceville, enjoying a curated evening of grilling and wine tasting to foster connection and camaraderie. Set in a relaxed, outdoor/indoor setting, the event offered a refreshing opportunity to unwind while networking. The culinary experience led by Culinary Institute of America trained chef Deb Mortillaro was a highlight of the evening, as attendees learned expert tips on marinating and grilling a variety of foods—including perfectly seasoned steak, delicate salmon, and colorful grilled vegetables. The interactive demonstration sparked lively discussion and shared laughs, adding a hands-on element to the gathering.

Complementing the grilling session was a curated wine tasting featuring selections from four renowned European wine regions. From the bold reds to the crisp whites, each pour offered a distinctive flavor profile and story, enhancing the evening’s relaxed yet enriching atmosphere. This casual yet purposeful gathering reflected Executive Women In Bio (EWIB) Pittsburgh’s commitment to building a strong, collaborative community of executive women driving innovation and leadership.
