Conant and Terlato also hosted the private event, and welcomed special guests as well as the filmmakers of RUDO Y CURSI and Sony Picture Classics executives.

The “Bon Appétit Supper Club” menu started with Ceci Bean Soup, with sausage and cabbage, and paired with Terlato Family Vineyards Pinot Grigio. Followed by the main course of Sirloin of Beef, served with roasted winter vegetables, truffled spinach puree and shaved parmigiano, which was nicely complemented with Terlato Family Vineyards Cabernet Savigon. The finale, a dessert of Amedi Chocolate Cake, was accompanied by burnt orange-caramel gelato and espresso sauce, and finished with Tiramisù liqueur.
