Weekly A to Z, September 21st.
Before we get into links and updates — first, a big announcement! I’m delighted to have accepted a position as a Senior Marketing Consultant with Tresind Studio. It’s no secret that I have been a fan of award-winning Chef Himanshu and his talented team for many years. Among other endeavors, I look forward to supporting the two-starred Michelin restaurant in any way I can via professional communication and ensuring seamless experiences with local and global guests, including visiting chefs. For PRs and others in the industry, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]
Now that we’re all up to date…
On Wednesday, I accepted an invitation to the Nyetimber x The Lakes dinner at the (recently crowned) #23 Lana. As one of my favorite sparkling wines in the world, it was easy to say yes, great to catch up with some of my favorite wine people in the city, and a delight to try a new whiskey. #invited
Speaking of Tresind Studio**, on Thursday, I accepted an invitation to enjoy the new season of Rising India. As with previous experiences, you’ll be taken on a journey, learn something, and enjoy yourself along the way. While there were a few favorites, what was my favorite new dish? I don’t want to give too much away, but I loved tomato tikka masala, accompanied by a naan broth (!). Yes, Himanshu is a culinary magician, and I encourage you to visit. #invited
Some deliveries? MMI and Altos Ibéricos by Familia Torres Wines sent a collection of Rioja wines, which I look forward to trying in the coming weeks. #gifted
Finally, after some recent discussions, I’d love for you to share your opinion on this topic — when is the best time to be invited to a dinner/event/activation? This season has (already) run the gamut: knowing you’re a D-list invite when you receive an event for the following day, planning too far in advance for over a month out, etc.
Friends, I’d love to know, when is the sweet spot/what makes you say yes? Please comment!
Links, please.

This weekend? It’s Mr. Wright’s birthday on Sunday, and we are celebrating with brunch at Tasca* with friends. Also, the generous team at Takahisa invited us to the Takahisa x Le Du collab. Speaking of Le Du — I’ll be visiting the restaurant in Bangkok in just a few weeks! Stay tuned.
Next week? As of now, I’m attending the annual Four Seasons event and finally (!) trying some of the new dishes at BOCA.
