Spring is in the air, and along with the season’s first blooms come a few firsts of our own: On Easter Sunday, we’ll be opening early and offering a special prix fixe brunch menu to help you and your family celebrate the joy of the season. We’re also announcing the debut of LeftoverSteakRecipes.com, where you’ll find inspiring ideas from Executive Chef Russell Skall on how to savor every last bite of your leftover steak. And in April, we’re hosting our first-ever High-Low Wine Dinner, with five courses designed to delight your taste buds, three of which are paired with two wines—one twice the price of the other, served “blind”—chosen to challenge them. To carry on the high-low
theme, Director of Wine Marian Jansen op de Haar weighs in on whether pricier wines are really worth it, and Moira Forbes (granddaughter of Malcolm) reminisces about her family’s love affair with wine. Here’s to a glorious spring!
