Description
Steven Hargrove is the Associate Director for the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction with more than 18 years of special-event fundraising experience. Previously, he managed the special events team at the Atlanta Community Food Bank, which produced more than seven large-scale events that raised more than $3 million in revenue. Prior to the Food Bank, Steven oversaw special events for Meals On Wheels Atlanta. Steven loves to travel and has visited nearly 40 countries, with his favorites being China, Italy, South Africa, Israel and Costa Rica. He has also hiked the Inca Trail in Peru, and he hiked Patagonia through the countries of Argentina and Chile in fall 2022. We talk about the origins of his love for wine, which was a parallel journey while pursuing a Juris Doctor and a Master of Industrial Relations from Loyola University Chicago and a Master of Music from Oklahoma City University. He gives us a behind the scenes look at the process of producing the auction events each year in Atlanta and how the team interacts with the participating wineries throughout the year. His favorite wines at the moment are Tuscan Chiantis, California Cabernet Sauvignons, and Bordeaux blends.
