featuring Master Sommelier Brett Davis


Join us for an exceptional wine and food experience on November 10th! The Establishment is hosting an intimate 4-course dinner featuring wines from Italy and special guest Brett Davis. Brett Davis is a Master Sommelier and will discuss the featured wines alongside chef Elliott Howells' Italian inspired menu. The dinner will begin with passed hors d'oeuvres at 6:00pm, followed by a seated dinner at 6:30pm. Enjoy chef Howells' creative menu as Brett Davis guides us through Italy's diverse wine offerings.  The featured wines will be available for purchase at the conclusion of the evening.

This event will be held in our private dining room. Because Brett Davis will only be in town a short while, this dinner will take place regardless of what kind of weather Nicole may or may not throw at us!
