Veuve Cliquot Rose' cold and ready for guests
Pickie Pie and Fleming's hosted a summer wine and appetizer tasting reception to honor and introduce Chef Boyer Derise of the Domain Austin Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar location.

The guest list included Fleming's Magnums, who are regular high spenders at the restaurant, media and VIPs invited by Pickie Pie. It's important to get chefs and restaurant operating partners connected with people on occasion as they are often so busy in the kitchen or running their restaurant.

The key with this event for Pickie Pie was to put together the right mix of people with complementary backgrounds and interests to not only provide a great networking opportunity but to insure everyone had a great time.

Thanks Rachel Elsberry for inviting us to the Flemings wine tasting and Meet the Chef event. I am in love with the Brunello di Montalcino 2004 Col D'Orcia was one of the best reds I have ever tasted. Food was FAB!
