Could there be anything better, in times like these, to flee, far? I suggest a trip to the deep south of France, a wild return to civilization in the most unexpected fashion.

In the program are both a virtual as well as a real and profound voyage.

Filet mignon, parsnip purée, Black truffle jus, and more, at the Caviar and Truffle Dinner, at Parizade, last Friday December 27.

Paired with Mas de Cynanque Amphyèdre 2018, an organic 100% Mourvèdre with raised in amphora, bringing finesse to this rather earthy and somewhat unusual varietal.
