artist dinner series - Robert Brengman from Brengman Brothers Winery
give a warm welcome to artist & winemaker Robert Brengman, as he joins us at avec west loop for a unique culinary experience highlighting Robert's creations - both the art AND the wine. "I loved creating pieces knowing that I’ll be able to eat and be merry surrounded by the things I love to do, which is cook and paint." - Robert Brengman
chefs Dylan Patel and Rey Quinones have created a 5-course meal inspired by Robert's artful designs. Robert's work will adorn the private dining room and remain on display throughout the month.
the avec team welcomes you, with doors opening at 6:30pm, allowing ample time to walk the "gallery" dining room taking in Robert's paintings before dinner commences at 7:00pm.
