What better reason to converge for the OMGD than to highlight the wines of America? In celebration of this event, talented Chef Jay Sangsingkaew of Stage crafted a menu tailor-made for the unique qualities of an Oregon Pinot Noir, a Napa Valley Chardonnay, and yes, a 2019 Opus One, paired with braised beef cheeks in a port wine reduction.

Obviously, there was not much more left to sample when Chef Jay sent out truffle mascarpone with ice cream, so there was little else to do but to totter off into the night after an evening well spent.
