Join us for a special evening at Tourmaline as Chef Yvan Lemoine cooks alongside local legend Danny Brown as they cook dishes from Danny's new book, “Cooking for Queens – Danny Brown Wine Bar and Kitchen recipes. Everyone attending will receive a signed copy.
Joining us will be our brilliant Wine Director Nicole Muscari, DipWSET, whose thoughtful selections and deep passion for wine will guide each course and bring the Danny's menu to life.
Seating is intentionally limited — tickets are expected to sell quickly.
