Item Description
Spend an evening with SMF Executive & Artistic Director Rob Gibson and wife Caroline Howell at the beautiful downtown loft of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Tomhave. An elegant dinner will be prepared and served by the Chef de Cuisine, Lauren Tomhave, with assistance from staff members of the Savannah Music Festival as wait staff. Wine Director, Bob Tomhave, will select world class wines from their personal cellar---including Alban, Aubert, Egon Muller, Marcassin, Sine Qua Non and a few surprises (California “cult” Cabernet, Rhone Valley Chateauneuf-du-Pape, et al). This will be an excellent opportunity for true connoisseurs who enjoy very fine, rare and difficult to obtain wines. For a total of six guests, in addition to Rob and Caroline.
First-hand testimonials from Savannah community members:
SMF supporter Dale Critz, Sr. :
“Bob and Lauren Tomhave are in a class by themselves when it comes to food and wine. Lila and I have had the pleasure of experiencing several of their wine dinners at their beautiful home on Oglethorpe Avenue. Bob's wine cellar is in the elevator shaft of the old Derst Bakery Company; it is worth the price of admission just to see the beautiful shelving filled with bottles of Aubert, Marcassin, Alban, Kongsgaard, Harlan and Sine Qua Non. All these will compliment Lauren's beautifully presented five course gourmet dinner that will melt in your mouth. It is a dining experience of a lifetime!”
SMF board member Dayle Levy:
“From the moment you enter the home of Lauren and Bob Tomhave, prepare to enjoy the most divine food paired with world class wines. This spectacular wine dinner ensures the best possible evening. We have been lucky enough to experience both their hospitality and expertise. A Winning Combination!!!”
SMF board member Polly Tucker:
“The dinners we’ve been invited to at Bob and Lauren Tomhave’s home are simply incomparable. With an abundance of rare wines and truly delicious food pairings, it is an exceptional experience for anyone to have. A real treat in a beautiful setting.”
