Enjoy Oscar’s favorite drink of choice - ABSINTHE, and cheers with a “Death in the Afternoon”delight created with ingredients from our friends at MUMM Sparkling and Pernod Absinthe.
Also, we are celebrating what is OLD and NEW - A perfect way to show off what’s new at the classic Gifford House. Red and white wine from Old World France and New World California will be yours to compare as you enjoy a sampling of catered foods.
