Prime Hosts LENZ Wine Dinner to Unveil FREE Art Label

Please join us at Prime: An American Kitchen & Bar (www.restaurantprime.com) on Wednesday, July 26th at 6:00PM for an exclusive wine dinner event with Long Island’s own LENZ Winery.

Following a champagne reception at 6:30PM, LENZ will unveil the art wine label featured on the 2016 Rosé. The art wine label is a collaboration between Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Inc. (FREE) and The LENZ Winery. Desiree, a special needs artist supported by FREE, has her painting HURRICANE from the esteemed collection entitled Ascension 2017, featured on this year’s label.

FREE or Family Residences and Essential Enterprises (http://www.familyres.org), is a non-profit agency that works with children and adults with different disabilities. The art for the wine label was created by the artist in FREE’s Fine Art and Art Therapy Programs.  Each year one of the student’s artwork is chosen to be on a label of wine that LENZ produces. This wine will be featured on the evening’s wine dinner menu and is available for purchase. Proceeds go back to the artist.

Please call the restaurant to reserve your seat, as seating is limited. Prime will be serving this $95 four-course price fixed menu (plus tax and gratuity):
