Italian Supper with Cindy

This is VERY limited seating of 10 people only. Please purchase your tickets as soon as possible. Tickets are transferrable.

Chef Bruce Yelner left his engineering career and received an apprenticeship at La Robespierre in the 8th Arrondissement in Paris. The owner of the restaurant also helped Bruce get a stage at Maxim’s and La Boule d’Or. Currently, besides helping friends in the restaurant business and doing a bit of his own catering, Chef Yelner loves cooking for friends with adventuresome palates. His repertoire has expanded from Paris to include the cuisines of Italy, Spain, India, New Orleans and Mexico.

Chef has created a menu for Cindy's Italian Supper that is reminiscent of Sunday night suppers at her Grandfather's house in West Virginia. "As a personal chef and enthusiastic diner, I am a great fan of Cindy's wines," says Bruce Yelner, Chef. "They are the very definition of food wines." Yelner will include classic Italian-American dishes to allow Cindy to reminisce a bit, while she's giving insights into her wines
