On February 23, 2023 fifty guests attended an exclusive cocktail and conversation event hosted by our new North Beach business the Eco Terreno Urban Tasting Room on Columbus Avenue. Our host Dawn Agnew created a wine and food pairing curated by their Executive Chef, Joe Ball. They featured three wines from their portfolio a Rosé, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each of the wines highlighted the Biodynamic, organic, and regenerative farming philosophy of Eco Terreno. Our guests included Alice Waters, Gorretti Lui, and Helen Hilton Raiser who were all moved by our client James Kafka’s story of working with North Beach Citizens from homelessness to housed and his gratefulness for our work on his behalf. It was James’s birthday and the whole crowd broke out into a birthday song for him making him blush with joy. Our sponsors for the evening were Claudine Cheng, Brenda Jewett, and Henrik Jones who shared with the crowd why they support the organization and impact we make on the clients we serve.
