Death & Co.

4.6

It was thought that to drink alcohol was to live a life shadowed by death; that those who drank were keeping company with death. It’s taken us nearly a century to restore flavor to the drink and class to the specialty cocktail. In our time, a night to celebrate life’s simple pleasures with fine wine, exquisitely crafted cocktails, beautifully prepared food, and impeccable sipping spirits is a rare gift.
