Terrain// Bellaire, Mi

On March 26th, 2022 Terrain restaurant in Bellaire, Mi hosted Cellar 1914 wines for their very first wine dinner.

I was asked to document the event and the beautiful (and delicious!) creations of Chef Randy Minish.

From appetizers to cherry tart finish it was an amazing night at Terrain.

Jenna and Shana were kind enough to take a moment for me. They were busy helping the event go flawlessly!
