Chers Confrères:

Attached to this email is the formal invitation to the Chaine’s next event: our Chaine Holiday Dinner at Mita’s on Monday, December 4, 2023 at 6:00 PM. Owner/Chef and James Beard nominee Jose Salazar is welcoming us back to Mita’s, having last been there in September, 2021. Jose is Cincinnati’s preeminent chef and Mita’s was a finalist last year for the James Beard Outstanding Restaurant in the US award. He’s looking forward to our return and he’s put together a fantastic holiday menu to celebrate the season. This is a great way to ring in the holiday with your fellow Chaine members. Don’t miss it!

Guests are welcome to attend but reservations will be limited to 110 so please respond quickly! The deadline to make your reservations is Friday, November 24, 2023.

Dress is Black Tie with Ribbons. Please remember to wear your ribbons as we can no longer publish your picture in the Cuvee without them (or an official substitute for women).
