Join Executive Chef Kenneth C. Hughes & Wine Expert Gabe Pica to Celebrate the holidays with a French Flair…

Chef Ken will demonstrate the making of the Bûche de Noël, a classic French Christmas dessert, with pairing notes of a couple of bubblies from our wonderful friend, Gabe, followed by tastings.  Guests will have opportunities to ask questions about baking techniques, gain insights into sweets and wine harmony, and have fun!
