Theme Based Events

Wine & Dine Our wine programs introduce the practicalities of tasting and buying wine. Junior employees appreciate the entrée to the nuances of wine tasting as they define their vocabularies and develop their palates. Oenophiles enjoy the unusual selections of value wines and extraordinary Tuscan wines worth their high prices. Wine menus are overseen by Pino Luongo, a Oenophile with an excellent palate and appreciation for value wines.
Art Tastings Buying art can be easy and fun. Our Art Tastings introduce young professionals to the protocols, excitement and glamour of the art world. Cocktails and dinners are held in Chelsea’s Mixed Greens Gallery. Our Food & Wine Tastings let guests mingle and attain expert advice on purchasing art, genres of art, and decorating with art.

Put Your Best Fork Forward! Ann Marie Sabath, author of six books on domestic and international etiquette, and founder of At Ease Inc., will entertain and inform you during this Lunch & Learn Program. You may arrive knowing most of the rules of entertaining clients during meals and business receptions and leave grateful with new information about dining etiquette.

Sabath shares “The 20 Most Commonly-Made Dining Etiquette Faux Pas.” She advises you on maximizing your time for networking at business receptions and positioning yourself at an event to meet people. Sabath’s presentation includes a question & answer period, meal, and ongoing access to the Business Etiquette Hotline, noted by The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and CNN.

Super Foods and Stress Management Join us and your guests for a new and innovative evening. By combining business with an opportunity to get healthy and unwind, this event benefits employees and employers. This “super” party is fun, informative and entertaining!
We start with pomegranate martinis and finish with blueberry sorbet. We showcase super foods and pair them with complementary beverages in a variety of dishes. Guests wander from station to station as experts on stress management and proper nutrition educate guests about the nutritional, antioxidant values and beneficial combinations of the foods presented, including Kiwi and Green Tea, remedies for jet lag and foods that fight the signs of aging. Food stations are accompanied by fact sheets with recipes. Certified personal trainers are on hand to discuss the benefits of exercise and offer advice on weight loss, strength training and incorporating exercise into your daily life.
