About the Event

Join us for a wonderful evening of exceptional food, outstanding wine, and the warm fellowship that makes our Chaîne events so special.

Event Details:
 
    •    Date: Tuesday June 9, 2026
    •    Price: $175 Members & Non Members
    •    Location: Rustico Italian Ristorante, Ventnor
    •    Time: 6:00 PM

We are delighted to gather at Rustico Italian Ristorante, where the team is excited to welcome our chapter for what promises to be a memorable and intimate dining experience. Known for its inviting atmosphere, gracious hospitality, and beautifully prepared cuisine, Rustico has thoughtfully created a delicious menu designed specifically for our evening together. 

Complementing the culinary experience will be featured selections from Fluent Wine Company, founded by esteemed Chaîne member Peter Caparso and his partner Rob Harrison. Fluent Wines is proudly featured as a house wine at many Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts properties — a remarkable distinction that speaks to the quality, elegance, and reputation of the brand. 

What makes this evening particularly special is that Peter and Rob have graciously curated a selection of wines for our chapter that would normally sit at a significantly higher price point than what is typically possible within the structure of a member event. In the spirit of Chaîne fellowship and their enthusiasm for sharing Fluent Wines with our members, they have worked closely with us to make this unique experience possible while keeping the evening accessible for our chapter. 

Peter and Rob are looking forward to personally sharing several of their wines with our members, offering a unique opportunity to experience the craftsmanship, character, and story behind the Fluent label in an intimate Chaîne setting. 

The evening will feature thoughtfully paired cuisine, excellent company, and the relaxed yet refined atmosphere that defines the spirit of Chaîne fellowship. 

Whether you are a passionate wine enthusiast, devoted foodie, or simply enjoy gathering around a beautiful table with wonderful people, this is an evening you will not want to miss.

About Fluent Wines

Rob Harrison 
PROPRIETOR 
“I have always had an affinity for hospitality, art and food. Creating exceptional wine is a way of combining these three passions.” 
In his youth, Rob Harrison remembers pulling the wine bottle out of the cupboard for family dinners and reading the back label because he was interested in the story of the vineyard, winery and people involved with the project. He knew even then that wine was more of an expression and something that should be appreciated. Later, while exploring the world, he found the most rewarding virtue of traveling involved meeting new people, and wine offered the opportunity to honor the newly formed friendships while enjoying a meal together. He developed a thirst for learning new cultures and customs and then began to focus his strengths, excitement and devotion toward the hospitality industry. It was then that his dream of the day he might develop his own expression of time through a glass of wine was established. 
Rob’s education in the world of wine continued while employed in the luxury hospitality field during college. He worked three days a week at Stein Eriksen Lodge where he was immersed in fine dining and wine selections from around the world. It was there he was deemed a Francophile by the wine director as she patiently guided him through the subtleties of the wine and spirit world. 
In his late 20’s Rob moved to the Napa Valley and planted roots. He was hired at Meadowood Napa Valley and fortunate to meet many people whom he considered mentors. Meadowood is an optimal place to be surrounded by people in the industry and others from around the world who are considered the best in their field. One of the virtues he developed and carries with him now is the idea that quality is something you must touch, feel and experience which is a common theme in the industry. These principles, ignited by his dream, guide his venture into the world of artful expression. Rob now will pickup handfuls of loamy and rocky soil while crouched beneath the vines and smell the earth to fully understand what it will offer the vine. He will then taste the fruit in anticipation of harvest to determine if it is ready. 
Rob feels strongly that successful wine and experiences are created by a team of people with similar interests and a shared dedication to quality. These same people who have become close friends as well as colleagues during a growing year and beyond share his commitment to excellence. As a result of this teamwork, Fluent Wine expresses brilliance and is both stored in the world’s finest cellars and restaurants as well as enjoyed on the back porch, where it is shared amongst family and friends.
