Chef for the Day Dinner
Ron Culbertson
Thursday, November 19

Our November Chef-for-the-Day dinner is Ron Culbertson. Chef Crouse and Ron have chosen a four course menu that reflects the season, the land and the sea. We hope you will join us and enjoy this special meal.

About Ron Culbertson:

With Italian and Polish heritage, this Baltimore native grew up helping his mother and grandmother stir the pots on the stove. "Cooking is just in my soul," claims Ron. Despite his mathematics background, his cooking is less about measurement and more about experimenting with flavors and ingredients. Ron retired in June after thirty-seven years as teacher and administrator at the Gilman School. For the last twenty-five years, he was the Middle School Head there: "Working with young adolescents inspired me and kept me young. It was a dream come true having a hand in helping to shape these young men." Since retiring, Ron has spent time working on the house, helping to care for his 15-month old grandson, training to be a high school football official, and cooking for family and friends. "Chef-for-the-Day will be another fantasy come true."

Bodega y Cavas de Weinert Wine Dinner

BODEGA Y CAVAS DE WEINERT
Wine Dinner

Monday, November 9th ~ 7:00 p.m.
$58 per person*

We are please to announce that Ms. Iduna Weinert from Bodega y Cavas de Weinert will be our special guest this evening for a multi-course dinner planned by our Executive Chef Bill Crouse that pairs his food to their Argentine wines.

Founded in 1975, Bodega y Cavas de Weinert is located in Lujan de Cuyo, Argentina´s craddle for top quality wines. The original building of 1890 of Spanish colonial architecture, reminiscent of an old winery owned by the family Otero until 1920, catches the eye by its beauty, inviting those who pass by to know what it guards in its inside.

Don Bernardo C. Weinert, founder and owner, could be defined as an entrepreneur. Born in a small german colony in Southern Brazil, he built his name around international transport in South America. Fascinated by the world of wine, he decided to found his own winery in Argentina with one unconditional philosophy: producing high quality wines.
