The forecast kept flirting with rain, but the skies cleared up just long enough!

What an amazing two years.

And we’re celebrating properly by bringing some favorites back: little gem & asparagus and snap peas with garlic mint labneh.

Due to the difficult situation in Lebanon, Eddie and Michelle Chami are unfortunately no longer able to travel to the U.S. and won’t be able to join us for our Lebanese wine evening this Sunday, March 15.
The evening will still go ahead, and we’ll be pouring selections from Mersel and Heya. Now more than ever, we remain committed to supporting Lebanese winemakers and artisans.
In light of the situation, all proceeds from the evening will be donated to the Lebanese Red Cross.
We’re grateful for the chance to raise a glass to their work and support Lebanon during this difficult time.
