Please join us for dinner at Chloe. Mary Frankel is working out the details of our menu, to which Cencibel members will take the challenge for wine pairing. When you RSVP, include the wine you will bring and the matching course. Tables will be arranged based on your offerings; specifics ensure equal pairings at each table. Please include your telephone number in the reply so that we can contact you if necessary.
Your payment is your reservation and the cancel-by date is one-week before the event (Oct 4, 5pm); the final confirmation will be sent to the restaurant at that time.
