The annual rosé dinner at c.1880, which is listed among events you shouldn't miss in the month of June, has been rescheduled for Thursday, July 16.
According to Joshua Wolter, general manager and beverage director, the event has been rescheduled in an effort to better accommodate rosé expert Erin Grace, who is scheduled to speak at the dinner.
Wolter says that, to compensate for the inconvenience, the dinner price will be reduced to $90 – both to those who have already reserved their places at the dinner, as well as any remaining reservations.
Last year's rosé dinner showcased the versatility of summer's favorite wine. This year's dinner showcases wines from the "Old World," where rosé has been popular for generations.
Dinner will start with reception at 6:30 p.m., and dinner at 7.
The menu will include:
-
