The Nandas are super excited to host at Atelier for many reasons … it’s another fine dining gem in their neighborhood of Lincoln Square; chef Christian Hunter is not only talented, but also has a goal to, “illuminate the ability of African American chefs to cook amazing food of any cuisine or genre”, which aligns neatly with the Roots Fund mission; and of course they just earned a Michelin star and the food will work well with our common love for fine wine. The Roots Fund is a 501 (c)(3) organization so tickets are tax deductible. Atelier is a small restaurant that has been bought-out for the evening for to accommodate this event Plan on a Paulée style evening of amazing wines shared generously.  The menu will be sent after the holidays to allow you to make wine pairings, but this is reasonably typical fine dining, so our favorite regions (Burgundy) and varietals (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) should work well (as might other things like Champagne, Riesling, Bordeaux, Rhone, Napa, Rioja ...)
