Trade Wine Tasting on Tuesday, September 14th

Wow, the events this month have been amazing so far.  The Velvet Room makes much more sense as a event space vs. a restaurant.  Plus the the General Manager mentioned that they are removing the beautiful but useless mirror table, which will definitely open the room up. The decor remained the same and the food was delicious as always.

Bar Agricole was packed, the decor was gorgeous, the drinks ridiculously fresh and strong. Hmmmm, brown drinks = trouble.

As for the Wine Tasting coming up, sounds like it will be a lot of fun!  Here are the details:

A Garden Party on Tuesday, August 3rd 2010 from 5:30pm-7:30pm @ Allied Arts Guild

A friend of mine is hosting a garden party to introduce prospective clients to his beautiful carpet creations.  The Allied Arts Guild is an amazing location.  Food from a great Chef + cupcakes from sprinkles = a winning combination....yummy!


Time: Tuesday, August 3 · 5:30pm - 8:00pm

Location: Allied Arts Guild
               75 Arbor Road
               Menlo Park, CA

Directly to Pejman at:  pejman@amidzad.com  Just let him know that you are a friend of mine :)

~More Info Usually, you’re not into garden parties. In fact, if we said “you’re invited,” you’d probably recall a previous engagement.


But what if we said this garden party will be hosted in three acres of a Spanish Colonial Garden built in 1929, where fine wine will be served with ecologically guilt-free gastronomy prepared by Google’s former chef, Charlie Ayers, himself?


Yes, outdoor furniture will be present, but not the plastic chairs... normally crowding such events. After all, One Kings Lane – the online destination for designer home decor sales – wants you to look good when your photo is taken in the “Garden of Delight.” If you’re lucky, you’ll appear in the next issue of Gentry Magazine alongside award-winning designers also in attendance.
So mark your iCal for Tuesday, August 3 from 5:30 to 8:00 pm. Sprinkles’ cupcakes are sure to tempt you, but don’t worry – what no one sees, no one counts. Think of it as a small price to pay for after-hours access to the world's finest collection of carpets and tapestries at Pejman Carpet and a tour of California's landmark, Allied Arts.


Brought to you by ASID, Calafia, Gentry Magazine, One Kings Lane, Sprinkles Cupcakes… and of course, Pejman Carpet. ~

Tuesday, August 10th @ The Velvet Room-5:30pm-7:30pm

I work in the events industry and love my job. Though our industry is struggling during these challenging times, there are perks. One of the biggest...is being in the know. Let me be your inside guide to the places and events that are happening right now.

The Clift Hotel is launching a new restaurant called The Velvet Room. Formerly Asia de Cuba, they have a new Chef but the decor will remain the same. Still, who can pass up what I am sure will be a great cocktail party with delicious food. See you there!
