  • Join us! Repost @therealellenyin Do NOT miss this incredible outdoor event @cherrystgarden benefiting @womenagainstabuse during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month! 25 of the City’s most talented chefs (who happen to be women) will hold a cocktail party and dinner on October 3. How did this come together so quickly? Our friend and Nashville pastry chef and author, Lisa Donovan is finally getting to celebrate her book release, and what better way than to throw a party! Lisa’s incredible story inspired Sisterly Love to get this together on the fly to raise money for WAA. Lisa, who experienced domestic violence, became a mother of 2, became an award winning pastry chef and author. R & D mixologist Resa Mueller will keep the seasonal cocktails flowing, and music is on deck for this socially distanced event at Cherry Street Pier’s picturesque garden. Vaccination cards required. Cocktail Reception 4-6pm, Seated Dinner 6:15 PM Cocktail Reception Only: $150 per ticket. Cocktail Reception + Seated Dinner: $300 per ticket. Want to be a sponsor?

  • Such a great team and great talent. Reposted from @sorynez We're incredibly proud of what we have created here at Sor Ynez. With GM Dana Mello and Executive Chef Alex Tellez at the helm, we are pushing the boundaries of what Mexican food can be in Philadelphia. From our amped up interior design, and mezcal-forward back bar, we are thankful for @craiglaban stopping by to unwrap his "vegan treasure."

  • What if terroir wasn’t just referring to composition of soil but also to the history and myths of a region? Join me as we "Drink with Gods" and follow the myths, heros, and emperors who shaped the development of Greco-Roman wine culture. This program celebrates this summer's cultural exhibit “Drinking with the Gods,” currently on display at La Cité du Vin, in Bordeaux, and ticket sale proceeds will support American Friends of Cité du Vin (@AFCiteduVin), a 501(c)3 that raises public awareness of and support for @LaCitéduVin I will lead a tasting of three wines that are inspired and complemented by the 2021 Cultural Exhibit at La Cité du Vin and hope that you will join me!

Join us as we travel to ancient Greece and Rome during this virtual wine tasting! We will trace the journey of wine from stories of heroes and emperors to daily enjoyment and consumption, exploring how this shift also expanded the geographic boundaries of large-scale wine production, encompassing many of the Old-World regions from which wine is celebrated today. . Our September 13 virtual wine tasting celebrates the 2021 cultural exhibit “Drinking with the Gods,” currently on display at @LaCitéduVin and we'll see a short virtual tour only available to our guests! Proceeds from ticket sales will support AFCDV, a 501(c)3 that raises public awareness of and support for the cultural exhibits of La Cité du Vin. . Our presenter, Jill Weber, holds a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and is a professional archaeologist who finds great pleasure in expanding "terroir" to include the myths and artifacts upon which modern grapes grow. When not traveling and working on excavations, she is a renowned restaurateur and serves as Board President of Les Dames d'Escoffier Philadelphia. You can find her @JetWineBar . Please join us! Events link in our bio! . Dr. Jill curated a list of wines that will be available through our partner @TribecaWine.
