Haute Living

Last night, Haute Wine Society hosted a spectacular evening of elegance, artistry, taste, and connection at Fearing's Restaurant’s , in Dallas, Texas. Our evening was driven with the technical ability of legendary Chef Dean Fearing, known as the "Father of Southwestern Cuisine" with joyous exuberance, extraordinary designs built into innovative dishes that are sure to make this food experience equally as delicious as it is unique.  Each course was perfectly paired with wines from the Simon Family Estate, a Napa Valley vintner recognized for elegantly expressive vinification while respecting the land and process of winemaking. From the delicious pairings to the elegant venue, the entire evening - taken as a whole - represented Haute Wine Society, as a blend of gastronomy, taste, culture and community, in the most tasteful and memorable way possible. Haute Living was honored to be included in this sophisticated celebration of flavor and artistry. #HauteLiving #HauteWineSociety #SimonFamilyEstate #ChefDeanFearing #CulinaryExcellence

Here at Haute Living, we are proud to continue our collaborative partnership with the FIU Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management through the Luxury Entrepreneurship Experience: a program designed to connect current leaders in the luxury industry with the next generation of entrepreneurs. This week, our CEO Kamal Hotchandani led a conversation alongside Rohan Marley, who shared his inspiring story of how El Cristiano Tequila came to life. A tequila brand created through authenticity, craftsmanship, and overall innovation. Another honorable mention, we welcomed legendary boxer Lennox Lewis, who made a special appearance in celebration of his 60th birthday. Through these ongoing sessions, we are able to bring real-world insight and invaluable perspective to the students here at FIU. Showcasing what it takes to think of an idea, formulate a plan, build and then sustain a meaningful brand in the luxury industry.  It’s always a  privilege to play a role in shaping these conversations and to see firsthand conversation through- education and  real world industry minds can come together to spark inspiration and innovation. Continuing the celebration: A group of twelve distinguished individuals had the pleasure to continue celebrating the olympic gold, undisputed heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis with a private dinner at Uchiko Miami Beach by Hai Hospitality, in honor of his 60th birthday.  Sushi and sake flowed throughout the evening, toasts were shared, and laughter ensued.  Uchiko opened this March in Sunset Harbor, Miami Beach. Directly related to its sibling restaurant- Uchi, Uchiko is known for its smokey, fiery, flavors that appear throughout many of their dishes.  Specifically utilizing a hearth grill- which is a cooking appliance that combines the traditional wood-fired, and open-flame cooking. Surpassing the versatility and  functionality of a modern-day  grill. Often found in restaurant kitchens, these multi-functional units allow chefs to cook over wood or charcoal to achieve rich, smoky flavors- which is what Uchiko is best known for. #HauteLiving #FIU #LuxuryEntrepreneurship #ElCristianoTequila #LennoxLewis #Leadership #Entrepreneurship

Here at Haute Living, we are proud to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs through education and collaboration. As part of the Luxury Entrepreneurship Experience at Florida International University’s / FIU Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, our CEO Kamal Hotchandani was joined by the founders of Sonrisa Rum, a top tier Puerto Rican rum brand built on heritage, innovation, and overall a vision. The Sonrisa team described their journey of how the brand came to life to students. Taking them through the whole process, from identifying a market opportunity, to navigating the challenges of building a startup, and to positioning their product in the competitive luxury spirits industry. Their story offered FIU students a firsthand look at what it truly takes to turn an idea into a thriving, fruitful, and meaningful business. Through these classroom discussions, we are honored to help shape future leaders by connecting them with entrepreneurs whose experiences highlight resilience, creativity, and the drive to succeed. 📍 In collaboration with FIU Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management 🌟 Guest speaker: Shareef M.
