Wine & Dine in the D, this year, kicks off with a multiple myeloma educational panel discussion including prominent myeloma doctors, and for the wine enthusiasts this year we have a wine tasting experience taking place at the same time. These two experiences are then followed by a “Wine & Dine” evening, featuring delicious food and beverages from some of Detroit’s finest restaurants. Approximately 400 community members, patients, caregivers, and key opinion leaders in the myeloma community attend Wine & Dine in the D annually. We bring together specialists from around the country for the panel discussion and provide a platform for Metro Detroit patients and the community to learn about multiple myeloma and speak directly to these leading doctors.
