The Food & Wine Classic in Aspen relies on a significant number of volunteers to operate annually. Approximately 490 volunteers contribute to the event's success each year.

One of the volunteers, Patty McKinney, was spotted filling glasses during The World Cup of Wine seminar on a Saturday morning. This seminar is one of the events that take place during the Food & Wine Classic.

Further details about the Food & Wine Classic and its volunteers can be found in the Aspen Daily News. The publication provides more information about the event and the people involved in making it happen.
