Chef Pajo Bruich and Sommelier Anani Lawson are in Sacramento once again for an experiential and delicious evening.  Part II of Epicure & Discoveries in Wine is Saturday, July 24^th at 6:00 p.m.

As Pajo says, it will be an evening of emotions and tastes, both familiar and uncommon.  Your cultural expectations of food and wine will be challenged, as the two brilliantly display phenomenal ingredients paired with an innovative gastronomic approach.
