The Yellowchair Experience
One of my favorite things to do in any part of the world is to go out and dine, more so doing it with a unique and local perspective. Combined with my interest for meeting new people, having intellectual conversations, and most importantly having a connection with my dish. With Yellowchair, they’ve made that happen!

Upon arrival at the Left Bank in the West Village, New York, we were welcomed by their friendly staff who showed us to our table where we were greeted with a glass of Prosecco by our Sommelier Christian Gourdin, who is a 3rd generation sommelier. He explained that this particular Prosecco will open our pallets and prepare us for the feast. Jeff Fransen and I partook in the Valentine special The Yellowchair Diaries: Cookbook Series: Part One.
We met a handful of interesting people in all types of fields and chatted the night away.
I want people to drink better wine.
