For many, food is just that – sustenance. The very basis of our survival here on planet Earth. But for a select growing demographic, our palate isn’t truly satisfied like it used to be.   This may simply come in the form of being introduced to a great dining experience, or perhaps a friend introduced you to some seasonably fresh produce from your local farmer’s market.   Put simply my friends, you are Gastronomes.

A small poem for you foodies. May the love, knowledge and “taste” we all have for our food, wine + spirits flourish in the weeks ahead!

“Like an artist, a gastronome
not only admires the beauty of
the most simple dish, but it’s
depth and masterful arrangement
– eating with his eyes, before
eating with his mouth.”
