Please join Michael and Donna Wilson, Chef Scott Riesenberger and Sommelier Laura Winter Falk for an elegant presentation of food and wine over a globally inspired, four-course meal of fine cuisine. This is an evening that mixes gorgeous lake views, delicious wine (2 International & 2 Bright Leaf wines) and engaging presentations upon delivery of each course. This is a unique opportunity that showcases the sophistication of what the Finger Lakes region has to offer.

He is a classically trained Cordon bleu chef and brings over 20 years experience working in many aspects of the restaurant industry both in Europe and NYC.
Sommelier Laura Winter Falk will share with our group of guests engaging and informative descriptions of all of the wines paired with our special menu for the evening. Her wine-pairing presentations will create a truly memorable and edifying experience for all attendees.
