Vive Le Brooks: Savor at Home w/ Chef Jimmy Gentry & Buster's
Event Information
About this Event
Here we go again! If you missed the first series, go ahead and secure your (virtual) seats to one (or all 3) of our second Vive Le Brooks! Savor at Home series. The first dinner of the series kicks off on 2/12- just in time for Valentine's day!
Each dinner will be 3 courses with 750ml bottles of both white and red wines specially picked by our friends at Buster's. Each evening will start at 6:30 pm and end at 8:30 pm.
Chef Jimmy Gentry will walk through how to plate your starter and dessert courses on your own, with a more detailed explanation of how to prepare the main course. Jimmy will also talk about his inspiration for each dish, and what led him to create them specifically for you!
We will also have a surprise guest from Buster's to talk to you in detail about each wine and why it was chosen to pair perfectly with your delicious food. Guests will have the opportunity to interact and ask questions throughout the entirety of the dinner.

For the past 29 years Vive Le Brooks (formerly the Memphis Wine + Food Series) has brought people together from all over the city to support Memphis Brooks Museum of Art's education programs, all while enjoying the art of food & wine with good friends. In place of in-person events, this year we are partnering with our longtime friends and sponsors to be able to offer these experiences to you from the comfort of your own home!
