Base fee:

We are excited to invite you to the Delaware Valley Mondiale event at Le Cheri, featuring the amazing wines of Donelan Family Wines.

Donelan Wines is a boutique Sonoma California-based winery that sells the vast majority of their wine direct to the public, and as such it was not available in PA until this year.  Their wines have consistently received rave reviews and some have received perfect 100-point scores!  Joe Donelan's relentless pursuit of perfection drives their quality and his desire to personally connect to his customers sets him apart.  His passion is reflected in each bottle.  On this night you will be able to taste five different Donelan wines, one of which did receive a perfect score in a recent vintage.  As a special treat, Joe will join us and be able to talk about his wines!

What better way to showcase Donelan Wines than at Le Chéri, Chef Pierre Calmels and his wife Charlotte's landmark Philadelphia restaurant.  Although Le Chéri needs no introduction, on this night they have created a special menu just for us to match the beauty of the wines.

We would like to make a special request that you reserve early for two reasons.  One is that we may sell out quickly in Le Cheri's smaller room, and you don't want to miss this dinner, and two is that if we receive a great response early we will be able to enjoy the entire restaurant together (with guests!), but only if we can give Charlotte Calmels a large number early.  And remember, Mondiale members get preference, followed by Chaine members, then guests.  Please let your guests know that their attendance is not guaranteed.
