"As a sommelier, it is rare to have the pleasure of working with a chef who enjoys the dialogue of creating perfect wine pairings as much as Chef Adair. Each dish was creative, delicious and showed great sensitivity to the paired wines. Additionally, he was able to seamlessly adjust to some last minute requests from the guests, tailoring the experience perfectly to their needs." —Sean Meyer – Estate Sommelier, Cardinale, Napa, Ca.
