Our parties with these guests are always elaborate and fun. The food is fresh and has a broad range, the wine flows (on this day it was more champagne) and the opportunity to really enjoy some of the finer things in life is always a necessity.

This was one of those rare occasions where the doors could be swung open and alfresco dining in late fall was a possibility. Our guests stole the advantage and set up shop all around the house, which comes equipped with little nooks and hideaways in which to dine.
