Lighter fair for warmer weather

Host a warm welcome to spring.

You don’t need to wait for summer to enjoy a bright, energetic and dazzling occasion. And dinner parties aren’t the only way to invite friends to enjoy great food and wine. For a Crisp & Light occasion, host a long, leisurely lunch on a spring day. It’s a well-loved European tradition that can be honoured across the Atlantic.
