Phoenix Elites Kick Off '09 By Keeping It Local At Quiessence!

Quiessence, located in the historic Farm at South Mountain, was the perfect venue for Phoenix Elite Yelpers and guests to kick off '09 in style. It was a beautiful evening for local food, wine, and jazz. Kudos to Chef Gregory LaPrad and his staff for welcoming us with farm fresh tastes of seasonal dishes including octopus carpaccio, roasted pork tenderloin, an assortment of cheeses, and oh so much more!

Arizona's own Pillsbury Wine Company, Dos Cabezas Wine Works, and Page Springs Cellars were all on location as well... and extremely generous with their pours. Yelpers had plenty of wine to toast the new year. Live jazz by Paris James added to the evening, and needless to say, a good time was had by all!

For those who missed out, check out the reviews and posed photos as well as the professional pics snapped by Gary Millard of four white walls photography. Haven't had enough? There's more recap on Talk!

Cheers to keeping it local in '09 and to a year full of magical events like this one!

Until next time,

SYOY!
