The Synchronicity of Tastemakers: An Evening of Wine, Food and Art
Get ready to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime evening with powerhouse tastemakers in partnership with Zahrah Farmer of “Days with Zahrah on ABC 7.” Chef Nelson German from Top Chef (Season 18) has created a prix fixe menu inspired by three special paintings selected by Jessup Cellars’ Resident Artist, Jermaine Danté. Five Jessup Cellars wines will compliment Chef Nelson’s very special presentation. Chef Nelson and Jermaine will be joined by Jessup Cellars Director, Ezekiel Hampton, where they’ll discuss the synchronicity of their discipline exemplified by each course. Zahrah Farmer emcees the evening’s multi-sensory adventure. Our evening of artists will be on hand to sign bottles of wine that are purchased, as well as prints of Jermaine’s artwork.
