At our inaugural Mood Wine Club of Palm Springs event we held a drawing. The grand prize was a wine paired dinner for four. I said I'd cook and serve in the winner's home or at the Loft. So on Saturday night we are hosting this dinner at the loft for the winner of the drawing...
Hayden John Brown along with his partner Fred and two friends.
This should be a fun dinner, but I have to pull out some of my culinary tricks since Hayden is also a serious cook with culinary training. Oh and he's also an amazing interior designer... check out his website -
