Mediterranean Wine Dinner Apr.17 @ The Cove!

WOW!

We are so excited to announce that we are planning yet another in our series of seasonal Wine Dinners at The Cove. As many of you know, we have been hosting them for many years now and all have been wildly popular! Since Chef Joanne has left The Cove, we have been experiencing a successful transition to the new kitchen team co-led by Chef Sarah Brown. (Follow them @thecovekitchenchronicles on Instagram) For fun, we decided to offer a collaboration with Chef Sarah and Joanne to keep these nights happening. Read the result below…

Thanks so much for your support,

Seamus and all of us at The Cove
