Your Executive cooks for you.

To be sure it was a hot summer evening, but the rain held off, allowing a large crowd of old and new friends to gather for a casual dinner party. The evening’s meal was a collaborative effort, with each course prepared by a member of the executive. The food was delicious and satisfying, and was paired with a selection of wines from the cellar, including a great bargain rosé that was a hit with the group. As everyone sat down to eat and catch up, the atmosphere was relaxed and convivial, making for a wonderful evening of good food, good wine, and great company.
